Oh sorry, I read that as 90F at night, nevermind. You're not going to get much drying from a lamp at night because the drier air will rise up, and the room's cooler, wetter, will flood in beneath, heat rises and all that. Does that make sense? (Boy, that was half my engineering degree in one line, seemed harder when I did it.)



Sure a room (usually sold as basement) dehumidifier will help a lot, but a warning, they are a pain to care for. (but one could say that about geckos too. ) There are chemical packs that you find in a lot of products (like leather coats or shoes) which are used in industry to dry the air, but they are extremely posionous.



I would say for short term (like if this is just weather related) he should be ok with higher humidity, if it lasts for weeks or weeks or if this is just the normal state of your house, and you are concerned, I would look into a dehumidifier. In the meantime, you could look into more air circulation in the room, like a fan, that can keep humid air from settling in the terrarium. Good luck!
