Is anyone else keeping a bearded dragon in the same room as their tanks? Mine is in with one of my 75g, 5g and 30g. The humidity in his cage is around 35% with lights on. But with lights off its around 60%. Any ideas on how to keep the humidity down? Thank you.

What do you mean with the lights off? Are you turning the heat lamps off? I assume if this is the case you are using an night time source of heat for your beardies. If not with my reptiles I use a ceramic heat source 24/7 helps keep regulate. Also if it is not already move your water bowl to the cold side of the tank might bring it down a little.

I've moved it to the cold side. Right now he's just a juvie and he's in a 20 long. I do not have a heat source once lights are out because our room usually stays at 68*. I read that that was ok for them. I don't trust heat pads.

All reptiles should have a steady heat source. That is why in the wild they get killed at night on roads because they come out to bask on the pavement as its still warm. I would suggest a ceramic heat lamp or heat tape. I have not had any issues out of my heat pad at the moment. It is more of the in tank heat rocks that you have to worry about. Here is a good link regarding husbandry for your dragon. i would check it out.
