Hi everybody!

Happy New Year!

I've a humidity question...

Our back room where we keep our snakes has a little damp patch in the corner and around our window. I need to know that if I buy dehumidifier (been told that this will help by a builder) how this will affect the humidity within the vivs and is there anything I can do to stop the humidity for dropping or being too low within the vivs.

Hope this makes sense!

Thanks in advance for any help!

All depends what you are looking for and willing to spend. Amazon have some quite good ones for good prices (and quick delivery). Or they do have (which i use for ours and am partial too) the Klimalogg pro by TFA.

Thanks guys.

It's a bugger really as I've just managed to get all 3 vivs at the same temp ranges and remodelled them too! I'd hate to have to move them out whilst we use the dehumidifier.

Best place to get a digital gauge? eBay? Amazon?

If you get a digital humidity tester as chrisc has said I would test the vivs before switching on the dehumidifier & then test again a day later. It shouldn't have a big effect on the vivs & try to keep it near the problem area of the room. A damp moss box in the viv might also help keep the levels up if they do drop.

could be worth getting one just to check go for a digital one though as their supposedly better but personally ive never used them

Thanks Chris.

Think it would be worth getting a humidity gauge?

i would say moving their water bowl's closer to the hot end/bulb should help counteract the dehumidifier
