Help with humidity in a 40 breeder tank

Sorry. I did mean I have not notice any smell from the moss.

My home stays at 68 so I need a 100w che and a 60w bulb to keep the right temps. Those two things zap my humidity.

Kinda bulky but I love the repti fogger on a timer. Takes care of it all for you .

I manage to keep the humidity at 80% in a 40 breeder for an adult BRB who is in QT; I have a more appropriate enclosure available for his permanent home but it's not very portable so it sits empty in the herp room. Here's how I do it:
- House ambient temperature at 77*F; any lower and my A/C dries out the air in the house so much it's almost impossible to maintain humidity in the snake enclosures.
- No light or CHE.
- UTH set at 85*F on his hot spot.
- Very shallow and large diameter water dish that sits on half the UTH, the warm side hide sits on the other half. For this the heavy crock dishes are better than the cheap plastic ones as the snake won't push it off the UTH.
- Cover the mesh top with Glad Press N Seal with the opposite corners slightly turned up for ventilation.
- Mist morning and evening.

For those of us in the desert or just very dry locations, it's never that easy. There are many options available to help with humidity, it's going to take trial and error to figure out which options give you the desired results.

I used tin foil and would make it into the perfect rectangle to fit on top then I would wrap the tin foil in saran wrap. It kept my humidity ok and I got almost perfect sheds. Then I got the idea of using press and seal saran wrap.

Its a lil more expensive but it will make a perfect seal and if you take your time it wont look that bad either. This is how I got perfect humidity before I switched to a racking system.
