I have a columbian boa and i am having issues keeping the humidity up and need suggestions.
i use cypress mulch as substate, and when i mist, it goes back down to 45% humidity within 45 mins.
i use a 100w ceramic heater attatched to a thermostat that keeps the basking spot at about 92 degrees wth an ambient temp of about 80 degrees.
i tried a larger water bowl and moved it in various spots around the tank with no success.
i have damp sphagnum moss all around the tank.
i covered 75% of the screen top with plexiglass.
i have a humidifier in the room (and i already live in florida so the humidity is high)
should i try to use a UTH?
i heard UTH’s dont eat humidity like a ceramic heater, but i also heard it doesnt warm the air to make a temp gradient? Is this true? Should i try to use a UTH as a primary heat source with the ceramic heater on the thermostat just to aid the heat and make a gradient? If so how should i do it?
