Getting the Humidity right

[Broseph]

I have my tank with my 6 year old female(toff) and the temps and humidity have been great, right on, then i check last night and the humidity dropped to 26% nothing on the setup has changed, the only thing i can think of is the room temp has gottin a little cooler at night. i have a 6inch x 4inch x by 2 1/2 inch deep water dish in there over the uth. what can i do to raise it up like i said i but the dish over the uth? and have the 75 watt infrared light over the water.

Can use some of the coconut husk bedding or misting to boost humidity.


Do U have a screen lid on the tank? You can cover the lid (all but about a silver dollar size spot in the corners) with saran wrap/tinfoil and tape it down, and that will help contain the humidity. The heat lamp sucks the moisture out of the air, so covering the screen lid will help contain it.
