I usually try to keep mine up over 70, and then get it up to about 80-85% if I can during sheds. You may notice a little dryness where its at, but if you dont, its probably fine.

That will probably be alright for the most part but if you can I would try to raise it to maintain 70% and during sheds bump it up to 75%. However if you can not get it any higher I would say that 65% is a safe low level of humidity. Todd

What type of housing are you using. That is crucial in developing a plan of attack to maintain the proper level of humidity. What will work in one tyoe of enclosure will not work in another. Todd
