    Smaller water bowl or water bowl on the cool side? Check that the UTH is only covering perhaps a third of the tub?

    What substrate are you using and what is a description, or better yet a photograph of your tub.

    High humidity is not a problem unless you are getting condensation as this could lead to scale rot. Also what are you using to measure your humidity?

    Re: humidity in rack

    Have a fan running in the room. Good air flow lowers the humidity in the racks if you can't add more holes to the tubs or use a smaller water dish.

    Re: humidity in rack

    You may need more than 6 holes.

    For all of my tubs, I have a row of holes going down the entire length of the tub on both sides. Each hole an inch apart.

    You may not need as much as me, but 6 doesn't sound like much.
