Lol I saw that too, but I thought "semipenis" was just too damn funny to correct!

i did the bowl thing, went to dollar tree and got a smalled one and it helped...it went from saing "HI" which god knows what it means, to 81 =]

81% humidity or 81 degrees? 81% is still on the high side for humidity, 81 degrees is a little on the cool side for basking temperatures.

Well the 4" seem to work well for me, it's usualy around 55-60. Unless we are in rainy weather. Maybe you need more holes in your tubs. :snake:

It's 81 humidity...76 ambient temp.. 92 basking.... And the top is FUULLL of holes... I think it's my house

I counted one of my old tubs once, before I bought a rack, It had 150+ holes

If you need to drop the humidity a little more, a fan will work wonders. If you have a ceiling fan in the room, turn it on low or med, and see how it works. Or, a small oscillating fan circulating air across the tub will help as well...

Some of those latin homes are STIFLING!, especially after a meal......so pretty much 24/7.
