i covered 2/3 of the screen on top with foil and have never seen my humidity drop below 50% (might help being from san diego but still)

**edit** ive also read that putting the water dish over the under tank heater will help with humidity levels just make sure u refill it everyday :)

really i read on the UTH it says DO NOT PLACE WATER ABOVE HEATER lol ..... so i didnt i need a smaller water thing i dunno wht i was thinking a 10g way to small for the water dish i got lol

also is the chat thing always empty ? theres never more then 2 people in there lol ok thats so off topic SORRY BACK TO SOME AWSOME TANKS !

i think they mean not to have any water ever come in contact with the UTH not that water cant be inside the tank above it :P

again i could be wrong but the extra water evaporation seems to help with humidity

oh dang wht a blonde comment i made..... ignore that im a dummy haha lol

No, they mean don't put the water in the hot end of the tank or over the UTH. This is just a precautionary measure because without a thermostat, the glass underneath is hot and if the water spills on it, it can cause the glass to crack. Kinda like when you put an ice cube in warm soda you can hear that little "CRACK" when it begins to melt.

ahh see i new i wasnt crazy!!

Here are my 2 tanks:cool:

Couple older pics from when I got my first ball....a few lessons learned were (1) that it's hard to keep humidity up in a tank and (2) when you buy a ball from Petco you're actually just buying a bunch of mites...they throw the snake in for free...:rolleye2:

They're all in racks now...:D
