Humidity?

X-Factor · #1 (**permalink**) 01-23-2007, 12:32 AM

I am new, yes. I fail at Teh Intarwebs so searching > me. That said, what is the necessary relative humidity requirements for a BP? I have a humidity guage (center back wall) as well as two temp guages (warm & cool back wall). Cage dimensions are 30 X 12 X 12 for a young BP (less than 2ft.) Water bowl is appx. 6" x 6" stone. Thanks for the help. If you just want to point me in the right direction for info that's fine too, I have no problems reading.

I would say 40% to 60% so with that said go with 50%..lol Hope that helps!

You're welcome, but I just re-read the care sheet on the link and I don't think it specifies the % of humidity. In that case, 50% is good, but 60% is better

What type of thermometers/humidity gauges are you using? Not the stick on ones i hope right? They can be over 10 degree's off. Also i usually measure the floor (put thermometer on top of the substrate where the heating element is). This is b.c unless you have climbing/basking branches thats where they snake is..Good luck with the Ball.
