ive bought a hygrometer yesterday the little dial one and its showing a humidity of 65/70%

is this too high and is there a way of lowering it if it is to high?

TBH i don't bother with a hygrometer, dial or digi, normal room humidity is fine and if there's ventilation, water in the cool end, not a damp hide in and you're not misting it should be fine

Dial thermometers are the same, waste of time.

well i went home last night took it out the vivarium and put in in the fridge and it stays at 70% so i just left it in my room all night and it still said 70% so it quite clearly doesnt work

As Matty said the dial thermometers and hygrometers are inacurate, my one was 10% out. Get a digital one and see what it is.

If you put less water in it will evaporate faster,causing higher humidity
n/a Posted - 04/08/2009 : 15:17:31
yeah could be an idea
Brookestar Posted - 04/08/2009 : 14:56:36
maybe try putting less water in?
n/a Posted - 04/08/2009 : 14:29:28

my water bowl is over the cool side

kk thanks matty

Around 50%, which is normal room humidity.
Brookestar Posted - 04/08/2009 : 13:50:15
what should the humidity be?
matty18714 Posted - 04/08/2009 : 13:46:57
Increase the ventilation and move the water bowl away from the heat source. However, the dial thermometers and hygrometers are know to be inacurate.
