Help with High Humidity???

A digital humidity gauge. Also reads temps. I have put 2 in the tubs to compare and they are both reading around the same.

Hi,

I just re-read the thread and noticed you said you removed some of the water from the bowl.

That won't help with the humidity though as it is the amount of water surface that affects that not the water depth - try using a bowl with a smaller surface area instead and see if that helps.

Gotcha, I will try that instead. I do have a pretty big water dish. Thank you all!!!!

I'm curious if any of the suggestions here worked? I recently set up a tub for a rescue BP and I cannot lower the humidity as well. This tub is not in a rack, just a stand alone tub with a lid. I have holes on all four sides, will add more holes if I need to, maybe lower on the sides as suggested above? This is the exact opposite problem I've had with glass tanks.

I've got a few reptile basics racks and I was having issues with the very top tubs in the stack getting WAY too humid like 80-90% but I switched out the bowls for some fairly small ones, changed the substrate to the chipped aspen instead of the shredded stuff and put more holes in there.

Also, you may want to look at the humidity in the room. I've found that the RBI racks tend to hold about 30% more humidity than the RAH in the room so I occassionaly have to run a dehumidifier in the room if it gets above 30-35%.
