So I made Magnus some new DIY hides because he was getting large enough to scrape up a few scales on his back from trying to cram himself into his old ones. His warm-side hide is an old toolbox that I scrubbed out and filed down, and the cool side has a plastic bowl my mother was willing to part with from our kitchen. They're tall, roomy, and dark, and he seems comfortable using them as hides. My only concern is that the toolbox hide gathers a lot of condensation on the
inside, causing water to drip back down into the enclosure and often right onto the animal. I think it's because it's on the warm side and water from the Eco-Earth is slowly evaporating off the UTH and getting trapped. I don't seem to have the same issue with the cool side bowl.
My temps are good, my humidity has always been good until now. I really don't want Magnus sitting in a puddle every time he wants to warm up. I was considering lining the inside of the toolbox with felt or something similar to prevent water droplets from forming. Any suggestions?
