    Humidity questions

    Sooooo... it's that nasty, hot, disgusting time of year again, and my bp room is heating up. The 40g enclosure with my adult is fine, but the cold side of my 20g with my 550g keeps spiking to 83.6+.

    We now have a fan in the hall, blowing ac air towards the snake room, and ac fan at their door. We have the door open about a foot and I've turned her cold side lamp as low as possible. (Off makes it drop to 77 and lower.) With the door opened about a foot, her cold side was 81.6 when I last checked, which is fine. Problem is, the room humidifier is now useless and her humidity is 48% and dropping. The top of her enclosure is covered with packing tape, but we have to mist multiple times a day now. I churn up the bedding when I mist so it stays moist longer.

    This takes her humidity to 75% and over a few hours it drops again.

    1. Is the fluctuating humidity going to stress her?
    2. Mold won't grow because I'm not soaking the bedding and it keeps drying, right?

    We mist the adult as well, but her humidity stays between 50% and 60% usually. I guess it's like fish keeping - larger tanks are easier to maintain.
