Humidity

The right humidity

In addition to the temperature, the relative humidity is an essential parameter for the Green Tree Python.

Relative humidity is a measure of what percentage of maximum humidity is in the air.

The water, which is in the gaseous state, is designated as humidity.

The humidity correlates directly with the amount of precipitation.

Correct humidity reduces in Morelia viridis respiratory diseases and minimizes molting problems.

The website http://www.regenwald.info/klima/ states that the relative humidity in the tropical rainforest is at least 70%.

The day and night temperature, if they are different, also has an influence on the rel. Humidity.

In the European region, this also includes winter and summer.

The greater the temperature difference between cold room and warm terrarium temperature, the greater the evaporation.

This can be seen from the condensing panes of the terrarium.

The relative humidity increases.

If the inside of the terrarium is sprayed with water, it doesn't take long for the humidity to rise to 95 % and more.

During the day, the relative humidity decreases and, depending on the existing wetness and air circulation, it can even fall below 70 percent, unless spraying is carried out several times a day.

Evaporation can be increased by a heating cable laid in the substrate.

The measurement of the relative humidity is influenced by the measuring point.

Humidity is higher near a moist floor substrate than near the ceiling.

More so when a heat panel is installed there, which can reach up to 70 °C during operation.

And as if that weren't enough, it should be added that high terrariums have a different humidity distribution than rectangular terrariums.
