High nighttime humidity!

[lthrbecks]

For some reason, unbeknownst to me, my vivariums humidity is very high on the digital scale. Most nights, it's in the 90's. Should I keep the misting up until well into the night? I don't go to bed until 3am ??. I just lost my first cam yesterday, due to pneumonia.
I sincerely hope, that I'd done everything right, at my end. The vet said, it was caused by an opportunist bacterial infection ?

Very high humidity at night is the new "natural hydration" method. So whats happening to you is not bad. Though i wonder about your air circulation and if you are getting enough fresh air in the cage if your getting upper respiratory infections.

I find that high humidity during the night is very important especially for a veiled. You can do this by using a fogger or misting late at night. right before your cham goes to bed. Foggers are better than late mistings imo because they will keep it high throughout the whole night.

BUT, temps have to be on the lower side or it will risk a RI. Try to keep it below 70. Thats still high try low 60's if you can
