How To Lower Humidity In A BEARDED DRAGON Enclosure

[@sacrificialnecrosis8435]

As someone who lives on the coast where the humidity is just about always above 50% this was literally one of the only helpful things I could find thanks bro

[@NORTHERNEXOTICS]

No worries bud. Glad you liked

[@Vader1005]

That’s my issue during the day it’s good 30-45 % but night goes up to 60% with two dehumidifiers on

[@SuperSportRe]

Vet I just went to,who is bearded dragon expert said make it as dry as you can down to 10%-20% So even at 30% I need these tips

[@dustins3147]

Thanks for the sock trick, that helped enough for my python. I live in Houston Texas so we have super high humidity and every python video is about how to increase and none were helpful on decreasing.

[@NORTHERNEXOTICS]

Glad it helped

Also in Houston and my humidity is always at 50% in his tank. nothings been helping so far so i'm hoping this will do it!

[@Camping_Beardie]

4-27-2024 Camping in Arkansas, USA. Huge rain storms this week. Have the camper a/c on but humidity is still 65%. Will try the rice trick. Thanks!

[@JamiesonM]

Probably saved my beardies butt! In my city its been raining for 3 days and regardless of anyithing I did, it spiked at 70+. Had a hunch my enclosure lid had too little ventilation so I just unscrewed it and put on some mesh. Hit 50 within a half hour. Just moved the water bowl and bam! 40%. Gonna grab some rice in the morning and see how much it drops. Lil Ghidorah's been doing fantastic all things considered.

[@NORTHERNEXOTICS]

Amazing new... And well done for keeping a close eye on the humidity

[@JamiesonM]

@@NORTHERNEXOTICS My eyes have been laser focused on the hygrometer since my fam surprised me with the dude. Unrelated, the original uvb bulb that came with the kit exploded due to a wiring defect tuesday afternoon. Thank goodness the mesh was super thin and cought the pieces...and i wonder why im paranoid lol.

[@nataliekayo5104]

Wow! Exactly what I was looking for! You can use a dehumidifier in the tank. I got Eva dry from American Amazon. I live in Japan and the humidity gets over 80% during summer and rainy season. I tried something new every few days .... Found that instead of using a mesh top, it's better to cover the top or have a closed enclosure and put a dehumidifier in. If the humidity is coming from the outside of the tank ofcourse!

[@herballattes1007]

Never thought of the water dish being on the hot side, moving it to the cold side and I ventilated the tank as well and that helped so thank you!

[@NORTHERNEXOTICS]

ahhh im dead happy to help. i had the same issues when i first got my beardie ... thanks for watching

Thank you for the video! Much appreciated and very informal. Something I do is put salt in a few coffee filters and put it in the enclosure. After a few days, the salt will begin to clump together bc of the moisture.

I’m having this exact problem and I live in the same state, what did you do in the end??? I’d really appreciate a response:)

[@nataliekayo5104]

If your humidity is coming from outside the tank, you can try having a clear plastic lid screwed in and puting a Eva dry dehumidifier in there. That's what I did for my leopard gecko. It's not enough where I live so i also use dry substrate, small water bowl, and caves that don't hold moisture and rice sock ect

[@emmybennin9862]

Y’all my tank is at 70% and I’m getting the bearded dragon in a couple days. None of these would be enough. Can someone please help me. Should I get a dehumidifier and if I do should it be in that cage? And link which ones work?

Great vid thanks mate... As a newbie I got spanked by petship. They setup what they said was everything I needed... So took home the viv cabinet and 8 wk old beardie.....she isn't eating... Maybe 3 crickets a day and i found out they misadvised as I didn't have a basking light or stone or any measurer except a single thermometer for ceramic bulb. 24 hrs ago I installed a basking, stone, thermo and hydro monitoring on both sides and temps are great... Hot side humidity is 45%... And done all your advise..except cutting more holes. Im in UK... Newcastle so same climate as you have... So just checking nothing else needs prepping before I cut.. (room is higher than 45 so I'd have thought it would get worse)

[@MAKO_0970]

unfortunately I live in Florida where it's naturally humid outside and so it is inside, and I have two Turtle tanks in the same room (open tops). So even with ventilation, the humidity is still at 60%. Now I'm looking at dehumidifiers to see if that works.

is it ok to buy a bearded dragon when the humidity is at 48? it is still lowering?

[@NORTHERNEXOTICS]

I'd say yes. Keep in mind in the wild they have humidity spikes when there is flash thunder and rain storms. It adds a bit of enrichment every now and then just aim to have the correct hummidity most of the time

What about installing a mini fan in one of the vents

[@aroundtheworldin18years]

Good vid, nice and enthusiastic :) 1st question: what substrate is that? Ok, we are complete beardie newbies. We have purchased the vivexotic large which is 115cm (L) x 42cm (H) x 37cm (D) - I know it's far too small for a full size beardie, but this viv will be replaced in Feb/March with a much bigger 5ft (or 6ft) x 3ft x 3ft viv, once baby beardie (which we've not yet bought, hope to buy in around 10 days) is around 4 months old. Before I buy the beardie, I want to make sure the temp/humidity right. Viv is completely bare aside from slate on the bottom, left side 100w solar basking bulb (arcadia), and also left side ProT5 24w 12% (arcadia)...at the Basking Spot end the temperature is bouncing between 38.5 - 38.9 and humidity 21-23 %, and at the Cooler end of the viv, the temp is 26.1 and 49% humidity....temperature/humidity measured 1 inch above substrate level. Do I need to add more ventilation at the cool end? Thanks - The Callaghan Posse :)

[@NORTHERNEXOTICS]

I'll be honest it does sound like you have it pretty spot on at the moment. The higher hummidity on the cool side isn't an issue. In the wild under bushes when they cool down it's slightly higher hummidity . Don't use my substrate tho. It's a vet recommended because when I rescued him he had a foot issue and this helps his foot. Only another few months of this substrate and it can be changed

[@aroundtheworldin18years]

NORTHERN EXOTICS managed to raise hot end to 40, humidity 17 and cooler end temp is 28 and 37 humidity. Substrate, I think I’ll stick with slate tiles til he’s around 6 months then will swap out for sand. Thanks

Okay so I got my bearded dragon a couple days ago and I need serious advice nobody helped me with any of this. So I was reading and you said no glass tanks why is that what should I be using instead? Also I have a screen top and my uv and heat lamp are a double duo and sit on top is that okay? One more question is my humidity is 50 percent and the detector is right in the middle of the tank should I have put it somewhere else ?

[@NORTHERNEXOTICS]

Since making this video I've realised that people in America comment use glass so it's acceptable there. Here in the UK it increases hummidity and inside the glass can return a reflection of the bearded dragon and cause aggression. The duo's are okay. Sometimes called mercury vapour bulbs. If you've only had the bearded dragon a few days it sometimes take a week for the hummidity to drop . If it doesn't try some of the tips in the vodeo

[@Blake-xo7id]

So I ended up going half loose and half tile just so it wasn’t much of a hassle every month when I have to put new loose substrate in, and it’s been a perfect 40 during the day and around 50 at night! So I recommend doing half if you don’t want to do half. What I did was add more sand so it was more dry. Good luck!😁

Just use a fan it works perfectly my leopard geko tank was at 50 and it went down with a fan to at least 30

[@NORTHERNEXOTICS]

The problems with a fan you have to think about alot more. Like draft shelter spots where the animal can get out of draft spots. Keep in mind these are cold blooded species . With a fan you create a wind chill factor so temps will not be correct. They will read on an ir as ok but they can't take the chill factor into account . The risk of pneumonia is far to great for me to use a fan. Ontop of that if your using a bulb to heat up the enclosure you also risk miss matched light. The uva,uvb,ir and ultra violet will be all over the place

[@wiz4214]

@@NORTHERNEXOTICS Thats not entirely true fans can really work I have an Infinity fan for my bearded dragon's cage with a speed of controler, which allows me to control the speed of the fan keeping the wind chill down. I place my fan in the corner part of my 40 gallon terrarium on top of the screen and it brought my Humidity down from 60⁰ to 45⁰ in two days. And yes I have a lot of humidity gauges throughout my terrarium and I check her temperatures every morning evening and at night. Everyone doesn't have a wood enclosure to drill into such as you. But It has not affected the temperatures or on her basking area, her uvb Ray's or any of the things that you have mentioned above. That fan will only affect the UVB rays if its place in the absolute wrong spot, I have tried every trick all the way down to the rice soaks which worked a little as I knew it would and a small dehumidifier etc nothing worked until I got this fan. I have done hella research on the pro and cons. It's been over a month and still no issues with her humidity or her temps. On days that is really humid I turn the fan up and on not so humid days I turn it down low. It keeps that stagnant air moving. At first when I was looking for solutions to fix this when I saw someone else comment about getting a fan and you told them not to get one because it can cause other issues and I was like I don't want to risk any other issues but I had no other choice but to go in this route and it had been the best decision that I have ever made my baby is thriving and there has been no issues with her temperature or it being too cold for her. It really does work if placed right!

@@wiz4214 what are you going to do when you have to get a bigger cage for your beard once it's not a baby? 40 gallons is only good for so long 😕, like a cpl of months.

Are you living somewhere tropical to have such high humidity numbers? I have never heard someone complain of them being that high? I'm in Michigan so I have never had mine above 50 and that was when I got my zen 4x2x2 and added the CocoCoir into my topsoil and plays and mix since it can hike up humidity.

[@wiz4214]

@@keyanddracaryskillua6187 Wow I love the fact you came at me like I don't know what I'm doing. SO let me read you.... Tank size depends on your dragon not your opinions! I too was a part of the trend for bigger housing when it comes to bearded dragons and my mind quickly change from my own experience. Some dragons don't like large housing and some do. The fact that you said "what are you going to do when she needs a bigger cage when it's not a baby" I couldn't do anything but lmao. What do you mean ???? if my dragon preferred something larger I will get them something larger no issues, problem solved 😆 also no I do not stay in a "tropical place", I stay in the south and my fan situation is working perfectly on top of my nee dehumidifier. I don't have to run my fan on high or as much, she has no issues with her humidity anymore. So you don't have to be in a different climate to have different humidity levels on top of a changing climate. So again, nothing wrong with all four of digital/bluetooth humidifiers from grovee. To say that "I tried" like I'm still struggling present-day is laughable. Or to imply like I couldn't afford to get a bigger enclosure like dude... I had hiccups along the way but I did hella research that was necessary for the health of my baby. And she's living her best life present day. I don't know about you but my baby stays in her tank for her necessary UVB before and after meals but she gets a natural UVB outside of her T5 uvb and in Natural sunlight and heat everyday. I'm a work from home artist so I can do this. Thank you kindly for your unwanted opinions and concerns. I think I got this 👍...

Take the water dish out & get a dehumidifier I just did that today I live in Florida & was the same 70 ish humidity down to 35 -45 % my room went from 65-60 to 45 % and still going down

[@ship-wreck]

@@bassfisher727fishing9 thanks! i just got an evadry dehumdifier and nothing's happened yet, guess ive gotta get to removing that water dish!

[@Froofroo2006]

Is it ok for my tank to be at 60 percent humidity at night

[@ernestozulueta3323]

I have this problem, during the day it’s fine but at night when the heat lamp is off it goes to 60.

[@Froofroo2006]

Ernesto Zulueta i think its ok because in the desert the humidity moves up at night so i think it wont hurt it but if it gets obove 70 percent its bad

[@williamestrada3181]

Mine during the day is at 36 and at nights goes up to 48....y'alls I think is way to high

[@Dublessness]

i have 2 desert iguanas and during the day their humidity is fine its 25% on the cooler side so that means its probably like 20%-15% on the hotter side which is perfect... but during the night, the humidity rises and it gets to like 60% and i feel bad for them

[@valruunvolkswyrm1806]

What if the tank is glass? How would I lower it then? Is it the same?

[@NORTHERNEXOTICS]

It's never ideal to have them in a glass tank. Kind of frowned upon but if that's what you decide to do then all well . You can still do everything except ventalation to which you could use a mesh material for the lid to allow great circulation

[@valruunvolkswyrm1806]

@@NORTHERNEXOTICS Ok, thanks! I have a mesh top for it. I'll try the other stuff though, and if that doesn't work, I'll just replace the tank with something better.

[@NORTHERNEXOTICS]

A little computer fan setup to suck the air out of the enclosure can help loads but it's noisy

[@valruunvolkswyrm1806]

@@NORTHERNEXOTICS Ok, maybe I'll try that. As far as the noise goes, that's fine. I just want to lower the humidity to prevent future problems for my dragon. Thank you so much for telling me how to fix it!

[@cursedcj]

My bearded dragon juts spiked to 65 somehow over night and it won’t go down I moved the water dish all the way to the right and it still didn’t go down ( my tank I think is possibly 30 ish gallon probably more idk my dad bought it for me

[@NORTHERNEXOTICS]

It takes time for hummidity to escape the enclosure. Move the bowl and check tomorrow. A spike in hummidity for a few days won't harm them. They see it in the wild with regular rain storms

[@Ownxer]

Take the water dish out it evaporates and causes humidity

[@NORTHERNEXOTICS]

In the UK it is law to always supply fresh drinking water even tho you and I both know having one in the setup could cause breathing issues it's classed as animal abuse to not have a water bowl ....how bad is that

[@ohno6594]

I've heard putting computer fans in ventilation holes works

[@NORTHERNEXOTICS]

You have to put the fans donit sucks air out of the enclosure for that to work but it can also cause a draft inside the enclosure . A draft with low outside air temp could cause other problems that I'm not willing to risk

[@plushtapestry2998]

My leopard gecko usually needs about a 40% humidity level, right now it’s raining A LOT and the humidity is around 90%, what are some things I should do

[@momtoallboys]

The reptile store told me my beardies humidity should be 0-10% We love in North America in California and right now her humidy is 40% But she had a respitory infection right now so I'm upping her heat and was told to lower the humidity

[@aymeerobinson5171]

Put some Damp Rid containers near the enclosure to help drop humidity in the room

[@absecurity5067]

How bout NO water bowl? I was told by vets and breeders said a water bowl in a dragon's cage was bad.

[@NORTHERNEXOTICS]

You are correct. I 100% agree . I did advice that in a video a long time ago but got so much hate and I got reported to the animal welfare. This is a technical grey area. For the animals health keep the water bowl out. But law regarding having pets is they need access to fresh water all the time. Because these are classed under pets the law states I need to have a water bowl. They get there moisture from there food

[@scubastevee4741]

Came here after having super high humidity in Louisiana. I want a bearded dragon but I don’t know if I should knowing that our average humidity is 90%. I don’t want it to get respiratory issues. Should I get one or is it just selfish to get one in these conditions?

[@NORTHERNEXOTICS]

Maybe not . There are ways to reduce it but it will be a constant struggle

[@THEFIFTHDIMENTION]

Mine did the opposite. I covered the enclosure all the way and the humidity dropped more wtf

[@mugwho6200]

You shouldnt have a water dish in a dragons enclosure it will evaporate under the heat lamp and create humidity and your dragon will get respiratory infections

[@NORTHERNEXOTICS]

I'm 100% with you . I never do have it in but the RSPCA in the UK tried to get me done for animal abuse for not allowing fresh water so now I put it in for the camrea

[@tommyguard3]

New to all this. If they don't have a water dish how do they drink?

i need to lower it by 20%

May take a few days to lower. Good luck

I live in Kansas City MO, Just got a bearded dragon. I have a LOT of humidity because of the area that I live in. I have been able to control it somehow during the day but at night when I turn off the light the humidity spikes up all the way to 65 to 70% I just got a dehumidifier. hopefully, this works. is there anything else that i can do?

Let me know if it helps

Before thanking your humidity is too high and doing things to lower it if you have an analog thermometer like the ones in these videos they are completely inaccurate. Switch to the digital ones.

[@NORTHERNEXOTICS]

Every hygrometer is accurate within 2 years of its life . The inaccuracy comes from installation being incorrect weather it be the sticky tab that holds it to the wall not being correctly fitted. ( Most have a polo like hole in the middle that needs removing and alot of people don't take it out like instructions read) or the wrong placement in the enclosure. Digital have a tendancy to fail more frequent as has mine my dearded dragon enclosure due to electrical and fine components corroding over time and also keep in mind high humidity enclosures like my Savannah monitor. The electrical digital hygrometers fail within a year. The correct placement has always baffled me which is the reason I have more then one in my enclosure. Your creating a environment suitable for your species . Humidity rises . A correctly installed hygrometer will read higher the higher up you place it. This is also the reason alot of big named people place there hygrometer on the floor of there enclosure for grown dwelling species . You want to read the humidity at the level your animal spends most of its time. It's a tricky one really because ball pythons spend most of there time in a hide so that's where the digitals may come in alot more useful with a probe under the hide. The inaccuracy is a sciantificly proven fact. They are all accurate upto 2 years of life providing installed as per the instructions.
