what temps and humidity????

[krystalsboy]

Just to be correct, could someone tell me the temps I need and the humidy level. I'm at 60% humidity, I know that is high. Are there little dehumidifiers for cages? My apartment is very old and it always feels a little damp, specially when it is raining for 2 days straight (I hate Ohio!!!)

Ideally, you would like to have the basking side between 100-110 degrees and have a gradient down to 75-80 degrees. If you have these temps correct, then the humidity should just "fall into line" with what it should be.

It would help if we knew more about the setup. What size vivarium do you have and what type of lights and wattages do you have. What are you using to measure temps and what are they?

29 gallon tank. 107 basking temp...80 on the other side. I use a zoomed digital thermometer with probe to measure temps. Had a Zilla dial hygrometer that read 60%, but who knows if that's right. Pitched it and gonna get the temp and humidity meter from walmart instead.
