>>Contrary to popular belief, JCPs don't need a ton of humidity. I keep the humidity around 40% in my JCP cages. I have a female who gets respiratory infections any time the humidity hits over about 55% humidity. Mine have always done better with a low humidity, and a moist hide box than in high humidity cage.
Yes but a screen topped tank with a light contains 0% humidity or very near 0%. Depending on area of the world and what month it is common household humidity has a vast fluxuation of humidity. In my area in the summer we can have quite a bit of humidity, whereas in the winter absoulut 0.
I also recommend a humid box for most boids because of that fact, its hard to control the humidity within our cages most of the year unless you need one extreme or the other. Even harder in a screen topped glass tank.
