No matter what substance the hide is made out of, if you dont' get proper ventilation through the hide and it stays dark. That is the perfect place for moisture and bacteria to build. Specially because of the high temps needed for BP's. I would highly highly recommend checking this out specially since you are not noticing any leaks in your water fall and you are still having trouble with the wetness under her hide area.

    Yeah. That looks great I'll be sure to check it out. Thanks!!!

    I avoid any issue of condensation with our plastic hides by putting the entrance hole in the "roof" (aka the bottom) of the bowl. Any dampness rising up goes out that way easy as anything. :)

    That's a good idea too. I haven't checked it today. She's been sleeping in it. I am headed to the pet store to get some supplies for cleaning day if she sheds tomorrow. I did drop the humidity a little from 70 to 60. trying to keep it a little drier to lessen the moistness until she sheds, and I can do a full clean.
