Re: Balancing hydration in Savs

The humidity is only a part of the overall picture.

Heat is another factor some people just don't get. If the air inside your enclosure does not belt you in the face when you open the door, it's too cold. I have never been to Africa, but I did go to Brasil once, the climate in Rio is pretty close, when the door opened on the plane, and I stepped out onto that tarmac, it was like walking on the sun to me... Real heat, not this "oh it's hot in Miami" wussy warmth, but real TROPICAL heat. Even at night it was freakin muggy. That is the kind of heat monitors crave and need to function properly.

It has been stated that "chronic exposure to insufficient temperatures" impedes proper kidney function, now with that information, one can conclude that once the kidneys begin to work less, the salts and urates of the bloodstream will elevate and the organs will begin to shut down.
