flukers analog hygrometer

Do you know the humidity in the room itself? And yes, getting air circulating should help assuming the room isn't just as humid as the tubs...

actually I have a second accurite that the probe is taped to the flexwatt and the unit itself sits on top of the rack.. the humidity on that ranges from low 50's to low 70's. Right now the unit on top of the rack reads 52% while the unit inside the one tub reads 84%. go figure.

high humidity is only good during the shed cycle, but for everyday, it can lead to mold growing in the tub, and inside your snakes lung (if I remember reading this correctly).

Do you remember where you read this? Also my humidity is not high enough that it is causing condensation in the tubs, and my substrate, which is newspaper, is not damp. So should I still be concerned? Or is a humidity level of mid to high 70's still to high?

I agree with Branson. You should measure the humidity in the room first so you won't fight a losing battle. Grab the accurite, since these are tried and true, and measure the room.

Also, check and make sure you're temps aren't too high.

Just reminding you to start with the simple things first
