My set up is as follows. I bought a critter combo setup that features a 20 gallon terrarium with a screen top. I have a 50W Basking Bulb on a ceramic light which heats things up nicely. My substrate is repti-bark and I have a nice large reptile pool in there. My problem is keeping the humidity at 50-60%
Each morning I mist the enclosure which brings the humidity from 20-30%up to 60-70%
The problem is the humidity drops back down again. I am thinking I can cover the top with some sort of clear label tape, something that will not attract mold. I know my problem is too much ventilation from the top which lets the humidity out. Any ideas besides changing my enclosure from a glass tank to a plastic rubbermaid tub?
I know the importance of correct and stable humidity. Can this fluctuation in humidity cause respitory problems? I live in Arizona so heat is not an issue. One side stays about 80 in the day and stays about the same at night while the warmer side is about 90 by day and falls to 85 at night with the help of an undertank heater. I need to get the humidity problem solved and I will be golden :roll:
