    Too humid?

    I've seen a lot of posts on here about humidity, and I know that it should sit at around 50-60% and 70% during shed. Unfortunately he got mites, I don't know from where but I believe it was the last time he fed, and I had to clean his tub out. This meant his old substrate was thrown away and he was stuck with paper towels for about 24 hours. I put new substrate in today and my gauges say 60% on the hot side and 70% on the cool side. (He's in shed...) But because I had to soak the substrate to get it to loosen up there's a lot of condensation on the side of the tub and the substrate is still very moist. The warm side of the tub is quickly drying out but should I worry about the condensation? How about the moist substrate? Thanks for helping out so much lately!

    The condensation should eventually go away. It may take a little longer since you are keeping the humidity up for a shed...

    Moist is ok, so long as the substrate isn't actually sopping wet you should be good. Wet substrate can lead to scale rot so it's best to avoid that.
