?Humidity concerns?

Hi everyone,
I have two A. avics and one LP. Should I be concerned about low humidity? I can't get it above 30 percent. I have even borrowed a room humidifier and put it relatively close to the spiders, but it doesn't seem to help raise the level. Any thoughts/ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanx.

If you have an enclosure with a water dish, your intra-enclosure humidity is often quite higher than your ambient room humidity.:beer:

Where and how are you measuring humidity? I was going to say what Wolfspider said, but he worded it much much than I would have.

I have a snake enclosure with bone dry Sani-chips in the bottom and between the humid hide and large water bowl it stays between 80 and 90% humid in there all the time, which is perfect for the species. (Unicolor cribo)

Either way, just make sure they have a clean water source all the time.

They each have ample, clean water. The LP enclosure gets a lite misting every so often. I guess I shouldn't be overly concerned about it.
