Humidity help

[Jrich]

I live in an area of high humidity. Well over 90% in the summer months , 60-80% in spring and fall and around 50% in the winter. The humidity in my apartment right now is around 50% with the heat popping on here and there throughout the day. I do not remember the humidity reading in the apartment in the summer unfortunately but the AC kicked on quite a bit and of course definitely not as humid as outside. I know that this does not suite two of my snakes, my Kenyan sand boa and Rosy. I thought about getting a dehumidifier but then again that might cause a problem for my snakes that need that humidity. It would be nice to have a separate room to keep the low humidity snakes in but that is not an option. I was at the hardware store today and saw closet dehumidifiers that could easily rest in the corner of a tank but I do not know what kind of material is inside the can. Does anyone have any methods for dehumidifying certain tanks or anything I can buy or am I SOL?

You are fine. Do not get a dehumidifier. As long as your tanks are set up properly you should not have any problems. Your heat and A/C running will actually lower your RH. I had to buy a humidifier to keep the RH in my reptile room between 60-70% this winter. Post some pics of your kings and milks in the Lampropeltis section here. Cheers!

You might be surprised what adding heat sources does to the humidity in the cages. You should be fine.
