Humidity

[Lankyrob]

In the wild humidity will build during the day then fade overnight - how do we replciate that in a vivarium?

Do you guys give a heavy spray in the morning o that the humidity goes upto toward the max and then settles? OR do you spray little and often so that the humidity is pretty much totally stable?

Any advice greatfully received.

i spray my RTB once in the late morning early afternoon and let it dissipate all day if the humidity is really high outside (i have my windows open) or if i am doing laundry that day (which is most days with kids lol) i don't need to mist so i don't. the only time i have been recommended to spray more often is in shed (which is happening right now for the first time since i had her)

I mist once a day early morning. I took my room temp and humidity the other day. An now that summer here the room temp for the day was high 91 and low 86. Humidity was hight 68 and low 61. During the summer in turn the UTH off. I only turn it on for four days after they eat. The other day was so hot that the warm end in my four big cages was 98 to 101. That's with a fan in the room to help move the ir around. So i figure it was time to flip them off. I don't want to cook a snake. Summer here the humidity averages 70% to 90% most of the time. So i luck out it not hard to maintain.

I just built a waterfall and put a 10 gallon tank in my viv so it would take care of itself along with some plants lol. The problem is that humidity is killed by light bulbs, and humidity will increase as the viv becomes cooler.
