Using Forest floor in tubs
Has anyone else had success using forest floor (cypress) in a plastic tub. Whenever I add a visually appealing amount of cypress, the humidity goes up to 80%. When I removed the substrate and just went with paper towels it evened out to 60%. I really like the look of this substrate, but the humidity is just getting too much. Does anyone have a solution for this?

Spread it out on a flat surface for a while and let it dry out a bit before you put it in the tub. I use cypress and I had to do that with mine.

Cool! Will give this a try!

Does it hold the humidity till the next cage cleaning (a month or so)? I'm always battling low humidity levels and starting to hate the glass tanks more and more... But if this is a really good fix, I'm game!
