ok i was using cypress mulch cause i believed i was having humidity issues. i was finding out that i put my humidity meter on the glass and about middle of the tank both ways. i was misting cypress mulch all the time and it was damp misting even her hide. i know now this was wrong and she started to develop scale rot from it. i quickly switch to aspen shreddings and now i cant keep the humidity levels about 50 they seem to float around 40's. im using glass 40 gallon cage and i have 60% of the tank top covered with plexiglass. soon as i mist its get to 55 and gone in like 20 minutes. the meter is now located right against her hide where she spends alot of the time. for heat im using a UTH on a thermostat and a 75w red infrared bulb. i dont have the options to change the cage right now so i need to figure this out. i even have 2 small dishes with moss in there to try to help and its not working
should i go back to cypress mulch and just be more careful?
what else can i do
