    Humidity way too high
    Wow, the humidity in my Boa's set up somehow skyrocketed past 80. I'm using a sterlite tub with temps at 92/85. I have 8 holes in the front, 6 on one side, 4 on the back, and 3 on the other side (soldered extra ones I can access). I have the lid half off with my eye on it. I'm also using Aspen bedding on top of newspaper. Would adding more holes work or would that be asking for trouble later on? I also have an AC running with the vent pointed it's way. I guess it has been pretty humid here. Grrrrr!!!

    I'd add more holes. It's pretty humid in our home and we have a lot of holes especially in the lids. As well watch that AC blowing directly on the snake enclosure.

    I think adding a few more holes would help. You can also try using a fan, to ciruclate the air a bit better. Just be careful not to add too many holes or you will be hating life in the winter. The heating in the winter dries the air out significantly!! ;)

    Ryan, this is one of those posts that doesn't contribute much. There's no information that Grim91Z can use, nor is there any actual question being asked. It's just a random statement flying in the breeze. Why not look in the search function and point Grim91z in that direction. If you humidity is low, and I'd say 49% is fine, you shouldn't worry too much until you have a more accurate reading.

    Again I'm not saying this to be mean, but I want to give you some constructive critism... a specific place to start in improving your contribution to the site. :D

    Ok, it went down to the mid-60's shortly after I made this post. I think I figured it out. It was after I changed the water, and when I added more some must have splooged over next to the acu-rite device. Even with the lid completely off it remained at around 80. I stil added a few more holes, just to keep it between 50 and 60 for humid days. I can always tape them up if it decides to drop below 50. Thanks for the help, even though it was a stupid move on my part.
