    Humidity Too High

    I've been having a lot of problems with keeping Ody's humidity lower. I had him in a ten gallon tank, but because I continuously got extremely high humidities, I've put him in a sterilite 20qt until I can get him something better. The teps are fine, but the humidity is still too high.

    HELP! -Sighs.- And God, do I feel like an irresponsible mommy.

    Re: Humidity Too High

    yeah drill or melt some more holes, if the humidity gets too low with new holes then just cover some of the holes up with tape, just watch the fumes from melting the holes though, they may make you a little

    Re: Humidity Too High

    It's maybe eight ounces. If even that. It's a small little water dish that I've had around the apartment. The one I had in his tank was about half the size of the enclosure.

    Re: Humidity Too High

    Are your holes around the sides or on the top? Also is the water bowl on the cooler side of the tub? Depends too on the ambient humidity in the room his tub is in so you might want to see what you are dealing with there as well.

    Re: Humidity Too High

    The "ambient" humidity is floating around 33%. The water's on the cool side. Holes are on the top.
