Question for rack people

No, I never put the water bowl close to the heat tape, it's always on the opposite side, but thanks for still touching on that to help double check my list.

Yea, I don't think I will that's why I said as long as it's in the 60's I'm fine. Stupid Louisiana.

I'd rather battle high humidity in the summer than low humidity in winter!

For me that'll be easy, Tape off a few holes, or a row, and that's even if I have that problem which I don't think I will.

I thought being in GA, you'd have high humidity as well?

Awe, I'll capture some of my humidity and mail it to you priority :D. How does that sound?

There is only 3 options

A/ More Holes
B/ Change subtrate
C/ Try to dry off your mulch, it's usually VERY wet straight out of the bag, I usually let mine sit in my snake room bag open for a week or two before using it.

Don't feel bad Neal. I live in Eastern PA and we see 50-90% humidity outside year round. I turned my tubs into dish strainers practically and used smaller water source to bring it under 70%

Now it goes anywhere from 50-70% in tub depending on outside and humidity in the room

The only thing that seems to bring down overall humidity for me is running a Ac but I gotta run it low so it don't kill my ambient temps

I'm using paper towels for substrate

So weird for me to contemplate this, I feel like it's SO humid here when it gets over 15%. :rofl:

Less holes= more humidity. I have 8 C-Serpent racks. 5 small 3/8" holes on each side of a V-70 and 3 holes in the back... no holes in the front. I put the water dish about 6" from the front and my humidity is in the upper 60's low 70's and my shop is right at 50%. The farther you push that water dish back the more humidity you will get.

For really big girls I toss a few handfuls of cypress in when they blue up. Holds humidity really good and gets a nice clean shed.

V18 tubs only get 3 holes per side and 2 in the back.
