Humidity in tubs and bedding

[robert7107]

Iam using Forest floor bedding with 8 in water bowls in a 28qt tub I spray on the hot side once every 4 days was spraying every 3 days .. The condensation is crazy the ceiling on all three tubs has water dripping from it.. iam buying a hygrometer but if I'd guess I would say humidity is in the 90% at least..
Suggestions?
Maybe switch to different substrate .

How many holes did you make in the tub? Make more.

Also, you usually don't need to spray at all in a tub. I'd stop doing that.

Usually in tubs everyone uses newspaper paper it works for most people.

I was leaning towards that especially since Forest floor is messy at times.
What about construction paper it's recycled paper no dyes or chemicals just a little rougher than then newspaper. I can get a roll of a 140 ft at Lowe's for $12.

I get packing paper. Aspen works too.

My rack is one of the Reptile Basic ones, so it's enclosed on 3 sides. I have 4 1/4" holes on one side of the tub to control humidity. In the summer the holes point out to reduce humidity. In the winter the holes point in to increase humidity. This keeps it just where I want it. I use those ceramic dog dishes as water bowls (probably 4") with no issues ever for humidity unless I have the holes pointed the wrong way.

With that much humidity follows mold, with mold follows RI's
