Humidity is the amount of water vapor or moisture in the air. For reptiles that are adapted to live in humid or tropical climates, humidity plays a vital role in the health of the skin, eyes, respiratory tract and more.
There are many different ways to create humidity in a reptile habitat, including proper use of substrates, water dishes, waterfalls, foggers, misting, and live terrarium plants. As substrates and décor dry out over time, the humidity level in a habitat will drop.
Zoo Med’s Humidity Plus Silicone Terrarium Cover can be used to slow the drying process and maintain high humidity levels for longer!
