Humidity Question

TattooVT Jan 22, 2007 11:44 PM

I'm in the process of switching over from glass aquariums to pvc cages. I just ordered a 48 x 24 x 12 from pvccages.com and was thinking of installing a tropic aire to keep the humidity levels in check. I was wondering if anyone else uses these what size pump should I use to keep the humidity levels in check or if I should take a different route. Here is the info on the cage when it comes in.

48L x 24D x 12H 3/8" thick PVC Cage with two rear vents.
65 Watt Radiant Heat panel.
Paper Cage Liners.

I will be housing all of my boas in these as soon as funds permit. The first to go in is my '03 Hypo Het Anery. Any help on this would be great.

Thanks,

Plastic cages hold humidity great. Test without anything fist because you likely won't need anything else. I hope this post wasn't just a stupid ad for that unknown cage company. : (

Thanks for actually answering me. I will see how the humidity levels are without anything before I install something unnecessary. I'm not trying to give anyone a plug on here, just a concerned novice with the best of intentions for my animals. Actually I noticed the place I ordered the cages from because they were listed under caging right here on kingsnake.com

Thanks,
