    humidity in rack
    I'm having problems keeping the humidity down in my rack. I change out wet bedding and also drill holes. It still in the 80s

    Smaller water bowl or water bowl on the cool side? Check that the UTH is only covering perhaps a third of the tub?

    What substrate are you using and what is a description, or better yet a photograph of your tub.

    High humidity is not a problem unless you are getting condensation as this could lead to scale rot. Also what are you using to measure your humidity?

    Have a fan running in the room. Good air flow lowers the humidity in the racks if you can't add more holes to the tubs or use a smaller water dish.

    You may need more than 6 holes.

    For all of my tubs, I have a row of holes going down the entire length of the tub on both sides. Each hole an inch apart.

    You may not need as much as me, but 6 doesn't sound like much.
