I have a similar problem with my monitor (not a sav) he is THRIVING HARD. I dont think it could do too much harm- if you want to lower humidity, open the doors and let it air out some.

Hi, I too would like to know which species you keep, also, is that the humidity throughout, or just in the hides/burrows, and what type of hygrometer you use to measure it?

That seems way high then.

Ideally, it should only be that high down inside the burrows.

Oh, that second post, sorry I missed it, I went from one to six or seven.....

EDIT: Wayne, have you thought of having a "Thanks" button, sometimes it`s a quick way of suggesting we agree with the post?

Hi, you need to provide a range of humidity, obviously it will be lowest around the basking area (+ - 50%), then higher in the hides/burrows (70%+).
It`s very important to remember that the humidity must be at those levels through the day when they are most active, of course if you switch the main heating off during the night the humidity will rise significantly.
Is it because you`ve ben spraying the enclosure that the figure is quite high just now?

Maybe adding a vent where you can control the opening of how much flow you have.Just a suggestion,hope it helps.

My enclosure reached 90% once. I just opened the doors for a little bit and got it back down to around 80. I like to keep it anywhere from 75-80% which it holds almost indefinitely.
