How to Lower Humidity???
I've noticed the humidity in my gecko's cage is around 35-45% at most times and I wanted to know how to lower the humidity a bit in the terrarium. Thanks!

Re: How to Lower Humidity???
More ventilation and small water dish.
Thats all the advice I have. 
If u live somewhere that has really high humidity u might need to try some other tricks, but those fixed my humidity problems.

Re: How to Lower Humidity???
Need more info:
Where do you live(humidity)?
What is the enclosure?
What is the current substrate?
How often do you mist?
How do you heat the enclosure?

unless you live in a region where it is irregularly humid, you honestly should be just fine

Re: How to Lower Humidity???
Too high of humidity with a mesh top aquarium? Hmmm...me thinks you have too much moisture in the enclosure. That or you have a snake that sweats.
