    High humidity

    Hi all, my snakes humidity is very high (95%) the only moisture in there is her water bowl and I am using aspen bedding.

    She has no noticeable health problems and is currently going through shed

    How can I decrease humidity?

    Imo, first, try to increase the ventilation in the enclosure by making more holes or slits in the transparent parts of it. Is that glass or plexiglass? It doesn't look like plastic. Can you drill holes into the wood part? 95% is very high. Try to turn on a stationary fan or two and see how much that helps. Maybe the room needs to have a window at least cracked. The water bowl doest look that large at all but maybe you want to downsize to a smaller bowl temporarily. Then just double check the humidity level with another hygrometer to make sure you are getting a accurate reading.

    Hi, the clear stuff is glass so can't drill through that, she does have 2 cents either side of her viv, I could try to blow a fan through there?

    Re: High humidity

    Another option is to remove the glass and replace with mesh?

    Try a different hygeometer. I wouldn't trust those cheap ebay specials.

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure I have that exact hygrometer. Hasn't been trustworthy since my geckos spilled a tiny bit of water on it.
