    Humidity issue

    Ok so i just wanted to check my humidity in my tubs and I'm a little confused. I see some caresheets that state their humidity should be around 50%-60%. Well when i checked my tubs the bottom one was at 76% with snake in it, missle one was at 83% with snake in it, and the top tub was at 76% with snake in it. obviously those are off what is suggested... should i be checking with the snakes out of the tub or with them in it, which would mean my %'s are too high.

    You should be checking with the snake in the tub. Although, the snake being in the tub shouldn't affect the humidity too greatly.

    Just solder more holes into the tubs until it is between 50-60%.

    Where are the water bowls? If they're close to, or over the heat they'll bump the humidity...recent cleaning and water change seems to bump the humidity up as well. If that's not the case, go with what Kaorte said...more holes.

    I have no holes in the tub, the breeder I got them from told me he doesn't put any in his tub. If I would won't that alter heats drastically?

    No. It will alter the humidity.
