    more holes?

    My humidity in my tubs is 99 % so I need to add more holes?
    Is there anything else to do to lower it?

    You could add more holes, but that may also make you lose some heat. I hear a lot of people say they just put fans on their racks/ tubs.

    What are you using as your substrate?

    Yeah, tell us what you are using for substrate and what are you using for heat? Try moving the water bowls far away from the heat source! And you might try using smaller water bowls. These are things to try before putting more holes in the tubs.

    I use oscillating fans to circulate more air through the tubs...
