    Humidity Help?
    How can I keep the humidity regulated in my BP's tank?

    I place a damp towel over 3/4 of the screen top. It works pretty well for me.

    Don't use towels - 1) they suck up more moisture than they give off, and 2) they harbor bacteria like mad.

    The best way to keep good humidity in a tank is to cover the screen top with either plexiglass fitted to the top, or with the foil treatment. These are the two best methods that get good steady results.

    I have a picture tutorial on treating a screen with foil and can PM it to anyone who asks. :)

    Cover the top and add some Sphagnum moss. How are you measuring humidity? What are you using as substrate?
