    if its a screen top try covering part of the top with a moist towel and see if that does the trick.

    Hi,

    I would try completely covering the screen top with tinfoil on the outside and taping it down (no tape inside the enclosure please ) and then cutting out the space needed for the lamps.

    Hmm,

    Well one possible suggestion would be try and use only one light (either red or blue) - that would hit the humidity a little less possibly and would avoid night time drops which are only really needed for breeding conditioning?

    Another suggestion would be to use a humid hide - what does the humidity sit at if you do not keep spraying?

    **Gives wombat a hug and reassures him he is really a good looking little wombat and all the female wombats will love him when he's older.**
