Compare that to readings taken in the room. Use a digital one because the analog ones are useless.I wouldn't worry about ventilation unless the humidity is over 65%.Gauges can be used to prevent excess humidity, not to create it.Avics are dry spiders and will do just fine at the humidity in your home.  My hunch with the large number of vent holes is that you have plenty of ventilation.My C versicolor does great in an ExoTerra nano enclosure. They are great cages and it's not really possible for the home builder to replicate them.</blockquote>
