Lowering Humidity?

[98XJSport]

Well Ive dreaded this time of year. Ive managed my temps through hot and cold, now it's the one thing Im not sure I can manage. Humidity. As I write this it's ~65% in tank if the el cheapo guage is right. Should I be worried that this is on the high side? How can I lower this? Maybe a tiny cheap fan to circulate the air?

Put a dehumidifier in the room! or air conditioner. both take humidity out of the air. or i guess you could put some damprid around your tanks NOT IN. That should lower it below 50.

Yeah I am having the same problem myself. I agree with john ac and a dehumidifier does help a lot. I have both but I have yet to see much difference in my geckos tank but I am sure that gauge thing is acting up. I would recommend a digital hygrometer like the flukers one. I don't have it yet but I am going to pick it up soon I hope. I haven't tried the damprid stuff however but I am sure it works also..........Shaun

That humidity is with the AC blasting all day, room temp in the low 70's. It's a glass tank, so the humidity, once introduced, isn't going to leave. That's why I was thinking small fan.

Anyone else have any ideas? Humidity has broken for now, anyways.

I have my geckos in glass tanks too. The humidity outside is over 90%, and I turn on the AC most of the day to keep humidity down. I also have a dehumidifier, but it blows out warm air...so I prefer the AC.
