Reptiles are cold-blooded (ectothermic) animals. It means that their body temperature is close to the ambient temperature. Therefore they often react sensitively to unfamiliar climatic conditions. Depending on the reptile species a certain humidity and temperature in the terrarium is necessary, because many of them absorb it through their skin or lungs. Too dry air in the terrarium can therefore cause life-threatening diseases such as pneumonia. Therefore a hygrometer should be installed in the terrarium, because it shows the prevailing humidity inside. This way you are able to maintain the climatic balance for your animal at all times, which is very important for its health condition.
