    Water Dish Size & Humidity

    The water dish we've been using was one of those big, shallow, rock-formation type you see in pet stores. Alas, it has a tiny crack somewhere because there's a slow leak, so we replaced it yesterday with one slightly smaller than the diameter of a CD.

    Today I'm noticing after a constant humidity range of 68-72%, it dropped to 65% these past 24 hours. Sharp, instant difference! So if any of you are having a hard time keeping your humidity up, perhaps a greater surface area of water will be a big help.

    Yep more or less water surface can help. Also sometimes the placement of the dish as far as closer or further from the heat source can help with adjustments to the enclosure humidity.
