    Re: help with humidity

    What kind of enclosure are you using? Plastic tub? Glass viv? Or something else? And what kind of substrate?

    Re: help with humidity

    i used to cover about 2/3 of the screen lid with saran wrap, contact paper, or anything like that. All you need is to leave space for the heat lamp, and that will provide sufficient air flow.

    Re: help with humidity

    i use eco-earth type stuff and a large water bowl in my 20g. i cover part of the top with a t-shirt or towel and use a UTH. my humidity is usually a little high, like between 60-70% all the time. What size cage do you have?
