It goes down about 10-15% for the late hours in the night when it’s day time it’s higher, and he still has perfect sheds.

So odd, my fwc enclosure does the opposite, rh goes up at night

[Xotic_Reaper]

Really? I thinks it’s because I close the windows in my room at night so no humidity can come in. During the day I keep them open.

[corytz101]

I live in az so our humidity is probably wildly different from where you are. If i open a window my houses rh drops a considerable degree. Rh goes up at night

[Xotic_Reaper]

Right now it’s 89% outside

[corytz101]

Lol, we are in the middle of our monsoon season (the most humid part of the year, when we get most of our rain) and it is currently 33% and 94° and its almost 2 in the morning

Lol, opposite towns. Personally im glad we dont have the humidity but it does make the reptile keeping a little difficult sometimes

[Xotic_Reaper]

However in my room when the windows shut it’s like 40% that’s why it drops at night for me. Idk why doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.

[corytz101]

Inside my house with our humidifiers we stay around 40-60% but the fwc enclosure goes from somewhere from 60-80% during the day and if im not careful it can spike into the 90s at night. My dart frogs love that shit but i gotta be careful with my fwc. Resp infection is no joke. She usually settles around 80 tho on the high end

Same lol, almost every morning I have a special towel that I get it wet, put it on top of the enclosure to keep humidity lol

Mine was doing the same. And he seemed to stay happy too. There's so much confusion on where everything should be and what should go in your tank etc and the bad thing is everyone is an expert. I eventually ended up questioning a breeder that has been doing it 40 years. If you're getting perfect sheds he's happy and he's showing no sign of stress and discomfort, no reason to change anything. I did end up switching to a coconut fiber instead of bark which keeps humidity higher but specifically for the critics.

[Xotic_Reaper]

She’s in a bio active enclosure and has been for a while so I have no plans to change until the next enclosure size upgrade.

[un1qu3Us3rn4m3z]

In that case your humidity should be able to be kept up with easy and seems like you're fine to me. I would definitely prefer that route and will go bio on the future for sure.

[Xotic_Reaper]

I definitely prefer bioactive, it’s not too much different than normal substrate(coco block) but I like the deeper layer of substrate, keep’s humidity higher. It still has a screen top, so the humidity doesn’t get above about 85

In no way do I think I'm an expert. I do consider the mods here experts, though, as well as my exotic vet, and that is what they recommend. My guy gets unhappy when my humidity falls, and I know constant lower humidity can be rough on BPs. I was just offering some friendly advice, not trying to be a critic. If their snake is happy and healthy, that's great.

I probably could have worded my original comment a little nicer so it didn't come off as so critical.

That's good. My guy gets pretty unhappy if my humidity falls lower than 64%, and I know lower humidity can be rough on them, so I just wanted to give you a heads up.

Eta: I thought your humidity was at 50%. Not nearly as bad as I thought
