Hi, sorry, but I don`t see anyone telling you to keep the enclosure very dry (low humidity)?

I advised at the beginning of this topic to keep the temps raised even during the night; around 85 to 90f (ambient), just to help keep the immune sytem working efficiently, if the monitor does have a RI (which you still don`t know for sure)?

Naturally, the humidity will be significantly lower around the basking spot, but the rest of the enclosure should be around 70% or so, as already advised by Calparsoni.

Can you build a solid wooden tank any time soon (building yourself can be very cheap), it will make things so much better for the monitor, and easier for you to keep control of the conditions inside?
