Hi there Robert,

I try to keep my tree monitors within the 65%-85% range, depending on the frequency of mistings that I have my rain system set to. As long as they don't drop below 50-60%, you shouldn't experience any problems, I wouldn't think..

Being that the prasinus complex comes from very moist, tropical forests, and that the fact that they easily dehydrate in captivity, would suggest that high humidity levels are good for them in captivity. And it has shown to work out just fine in my collection, as well as many others.

Cheers Mate, talk to you later.

Bob
