: Lisa,
: I house mine outdoors,so they are subject to local(FL.)weather conditions.Humidity is often very high here.However,some observations that I have made that may support your opinion are,as I had mentioned in the previous post,my female will retaliate during rainstorms,as where many of my Greens will not.Also,I mist my Green Iguanas daily,but the misting is not as readily accepted by the Ctenosaura.I limit her misting to once a week,mostly to insure me that she is well hydrated.Again,she is subject to higher humidity levels year-round and has never shown any ill signs indicating humidity as a problem.In their natural range I know humidity levels to be drastically lower,however this may just show the adaptability of this animal to thrive in a variety of weather conditions.
