In short, no! Adults manage fine with lower humidity levels, but if humidity is too low they will soak in their water bowls most of the time. Babies need higher humidity or they may develop respiratory problems.

babies need at very least 70% humidity,and ideally 75%-80%,they can be raised to 85% when shedding, adults can be o.k down to much lower levels minum 50% ,but that IS a minimum,and plenty of water should be available,and a nice cool damp hide available also. Smile
