Humidity and hibernation

[Ozric]

In the past I've hibernated my Hermanns in a basically dry substrate and haven't measured the humidity in the refridgerator or done anything to raise it such as placing a bowl of water in the fridge.

Should I be taking measures to maintain humidity during hibernation, and if so - how much?

Thanks for your thoughts....

Hi Jonathan,
I would at least be measuring the humidity. I think keeping it between 40 and 50% would be good.
