While I know that 70% is the minimum ambient humidity for a Western Hermann hatchling, what is the maximum humidity? Temperature under basking bulb is 95-100. Rest of enclosure is 80-85. At night the temperature is 75-80. 50 watt basking bulb. t5 10.0 UVB tube. Coconut coir and cypress mulch substrate. Thanks!

Thank you. My humidity level is usually 80-90%. Day and night. I spray only a few times a day I am moving him from a 24x16 inch plastic bin to a 34x 19 Bin that is about 13 inches high Hopefully i can maintain healthy temps and humidity

If your humidity is in the 70s or 80s during the heat of the day, its normal for it to climb into the high 90s at night when temps drop. This is normal and totally fine.
