Re: Cant Drop Humidity

Re: Cant Drop Humidity
Why not? In another thread you said it was a 28qt. In another thread, you said you were using aspen substrate. I also know based on a different thread that you don't have a snake in it yet. How big is your water dish? Where is it? Did you spill water in the tub? Have you put any holes in the tub for ventillation yet?
If your water dish isn't horribly large, and you haven't spilled water in the tub, you probably just need to put some additional ventillation holes in the tub. Also, if your water dish is on the warm side of the tub, try moving it to the cool side.

Do you have any holes in it? If so, how many? Is it in a rack or does it have a lid? What kind of substrate are you using? What kind of water dish are you using? What kind of heat are you using? Where is the water dish located in the cage?

Re: Cant Drop Humidity
If you're using aspen it might be too damp. Replace it with newspaper temorarily to see if it goes down. If it does, then either find dryer substrate or bake the aspen in the oven at about 200 degrees for 20 minutes. That should dry it out enough to keep your humidity down.
