Ive talked about it befor on here...ive read that to keep it between 50 and 60 percent...so that means it dosent matter what state your in? so that means if i live in Texas even if i had it at 50 or 60 it would be fine? cause i belive i once read that differnt places you need it differnt humidity is that a myth?...thanks

i might be wring in this... but humidity is a percent, So regardless of your location you'd want to keep it at the right percent... if texas is more dry or more humid then you just might have to do more/less to get it to the proper humidity. 70% in the artic and 70% in brazil are the same humidity, it would just take different methods to get there

Demona hit the nail on the head. You want to keep humidity around 50%. It may take more work to keep humidity at that level in AZ than it would here in TX but it is still the same. I actually have a hygrometer in several rooms of my house as well as in the snake cages and average humidity in the house is around 45%, this makes it a piece of cake to keep the boas cages right on target, especially since they are all in melamine cages or steralite tubs. The only snake we have in a glass aquarium is my daughters ball python. To keep the humidity in it we simply mist it twice a day with a spray bottle.

hey kinda off topic, but are RI's caused by to high of humidity or to low? ( in BCI's and BP's if that makes a diff)?

Believe its from the humidity being to low, causing the air to become dry
