Reptile Humidity Control

Humidity is an important factor in the husbandry of your reptile and will vary widely with the species. The overall setup of your habitat, whether it be screened on the sides or top as well as the size and depth of the water dish can greatly affect humidity before misting of any kind is started. For more arid species that don't require high humidity, a hand mister may be enough to achieve needed levels and provide droplets for your animal to drink from. For reptiles such as chameleons that are more likely to drink from droplets than bowls, drippers may be ideal to help ensure they are getting adequate hydration from a constant slow drip onto decorations below.

For more tropical species, automatic mist or fog machines may be a more ideal way to ensure they are getting the humidity levels needed. These machines have a large tank that can be refilled as needed and can be set to different intervals to provide extra hydration for your pet's habitat. These can be great for high-humidity loving reptiles and amphibians!

No matter what humidity levels are desired for your pet, having accurate gauges that can monitor the levels of both humidity and temperature in the habitat are essential for you to know if anything needs to be adjusted for your pet to be comfortable and thrive.
