you can try a smaller water bowl and put the bowl on the cooler end of the tub .but if its not damp and air flow is good dont worry to about it to much

What kind of measuring device do you have? Digital or analog?

i use a digital acurite

Is there good air circulation in the room?

What size tub?

its a 28qt sterlite tub and i have a ceiling fan and its on should i put it on a fast setting

what are you using for bedding?

aspen bedding

is it in a rack, or a stand alone tub? What's the substrate?

its a stand alone tub using aspen bedding

Maybe try switching to newpaper, and see how that goes...

rite now the humidity just reads high and i have my ceiling fan on a faster setting i have so many holes in the tub i hate how humid it is in florida any suggesstions?

I would try newsprint. Aspen can hold humidity.

what about paper towel

lol Just saw where you live. My tubs have almost 300 holes per tub

So switching to paper doesn't really make a big difference here in so FL
