Inadequate humidity (e.g. excessive air conditioning) leads to stress, dehydration and dysecdysis. Excessive humidity (e.g. inadequate cage ventilation) leads to skin infections. A humidity chamber (a container filled with damp tissue paper) can be provided for ecdysis. The problems associated with low humidity can sometimes be overcome by daily water baths for 1-2 hours. | Inadequate humidity (e.g. excessive air conditioning) leads to stress, dehydration and dysecdysis.
