Humidity help

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?

Re: Humidity help

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!

Re: Humidity help

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