Humidity HELP!!!

[Lanaisaacs]

I have been trying so hard to get my temp and humidity up and it seemed like nothing I did could get either over 70. I decided I’d try and get a new thermo/hygro and it came in today. I put it in the tank and it’s been maybe 10 minutes in there and now my temp says 75.2 and the humidity says 91%. Is this dangerous?? I don’t know what to do. I know the “golden” is 80/80.

I’m now at 77 degrees and 96% humidity.

You don't really neeeeeed to be at 80/80, but it's recommended.

Humidity does need to be closer to at least 80 for their gills, but heat can go from 75-82, imo.

So right now I’m at 77.1 degrees and 97% humidity. Is that safe/okay?!

[Pumpkincrab]

Yup.

77 is perfect for temp, I think that's what my tank is right now.
And there really is no such thing as 'too high' of humidity. There can be more mold growth at higher humidities, but it will not harm your crabs. My tank is routinely over 90% humidity.

Yay!!!! I am so glad to have it where it is supposed to be!!!!! I have been kind of stressing and it was my dial gauge all along
