Have you got any tips on bringing the humidity down?

I am excited and anxious about this weekend as its his first feed, just hope he isn't too stressed out to eat

I have looked into getting a small dehumidifier a placing it near my viv as this may help lower the overall humidity, thoughts? anyone done this before?

I live in a different climate than you. Here in the desert we struggle to keep humidity up. But adding more air flow to your viv will drop your humidity (holes or a screen). You might want to check with people in your climate to see how they manage. Personally I would be happy with 73% humidity but I might be wrong and that might be wrong for the UK.

A heat lamp will do it.

Unforutnately I do not have space for a heat lamp and I already have a Heat Map so do not want to add any more heat into the viv.

Thanks for the suggestion though.
