humidity help

[bmxican1317]

i need some ideas to help raise my humidity i cant seen to get it above 35% and that's right after i mist and with a water dish i have a 20l tank with a screen top that is covered about 75% with foil, i use aspen as a substrate im currently running a 75W day time heat lamp i get my temps where they should be hot cool and ambient i do not have a uth at the moment bacuase i havent purchased a thermostat to run it. everytime i come home from work the water dish is empty from the lamp evaporating all the water. if i switch from a bulb to a ceramic heat emitter would this help?

Are you putting the water dish below the light fixure? What are you using to read the humidity?

Pics would be helpful are you using dial guages or digital?

Gonna be hard to get your humidity up using heat lamps

i use all digital thermometers i have a zoomed digital with probe underneath the hot side and i have a accurite with temp/humidity and i have the probe from that under the cool side i dont use both lamps one has a night bulb and one has a daytime bulb i switch them around

Looks like the setup is new huh? 4get that water dish, use a bigger deeper water bowl then that thing. You can use a bowl you might have in your house for now but I would get a bigger bowl he/she can't tip over.

The light is most likely eating up all the humidity. Get a bigger deeper water dish as said above.

yea it is a new set up i have had my bp for about 3 weeks now im new to the snake thing but not new to keeping other reptiles ill try putting a bigger bowl in there and see what that does i may even try to put some moss in a tupperware container with a hole cut in the top and see if that helps out too maybe the light wont suck all the moisture out then . also when i do get a tstat to run a uth will i be able to ditch the light completely?

Some fake plants always helped me out because when you mist some drops would form and create a good humidity level.
