ANSWER: Hi Patty,
Yes, the room humidity will change the cage humidity,but you can help to keep the cage a bit more humid by using clear plastic shower curtains to wrap the cage in if needed. On open wire cages I like to use the vaporizers on the outside of them and direct the "steam" into the cage at a safe distance. Also, adding silk plants to the cage helps as that when they are misted with water, they help to hold the humidity.

If this still isn't enough info, please let me know and I will find more answers for you!!!
On the cage size, it depends on how you have your dimensions listed as that a cage that is 4-6 ft high and 3 feet wide is needed. They are generally ok with handling. Another species that you may want to check into as a first reptile is the bearded dragon. They require a much smaller cage, if that is an issue for you. If this is a lizard that may intrest you, I can give you a basic care sheet on them. Beardies generally are very social, calm lizards that enjoy human company.
