    I use a 4 inch glass bowl (very heavy bottom) and currently aspen (sani chips) although I am switching back as soon as it is gone to coco coir. It is cheaper and has less issues with getting stuck under scales (why I tried aspen in the first place one snake of 11 got some trapped under a scale in 3 years I have had 6 times in 8 months with the aspen)

    I actually humidify the whole room in the winter as it naturally is in the 18-22% (@ 80ºF) range. In the summer I don't do anything as it runs in the 60% area (@ 80ºF)

    If your ambient air temps are 75-77ºF area you likely want to target 70% during sheds as that is 15.5gm/m3 of water. RH is relative to temperature. 15.5gm/m3 is actual humidity it is a constant.

    Awesome thank you sooo much! So do you use a thermometer in the tubs to watch the temps and humidity?

    Yes I have a thermometer on the hot side top of the rack (usually the hottest spot) The middle hot and cool and bottom cool. Everyday move my one floater around the unused locations. Humidity I just measure the room as I humidify it. If I was not doing this I'd have top and bottom hygrometers. I run the thermometer probes to one spot so a quick glance (beside my Tstat) tells me temps of every point.
