Hi all,

Ok, new question. Back in the old days (around 10 years ago) when I had my first ball, I never heard about the humidity control issue, and therefore never checked it. Then again I was just using a hot rock, and never had problems, dumb luck I guess.

Anyways, I have got everything set up pretty well now, Temps are in the right range (I have a temporary setup with a 10 gallon while I'm cleaing/builing a new 40 gallon). But humidity keeps going really low, like 30% or so. I'm just using paper as a substrate.

I have read about the DIY humidifier, is this what everyone else uses? Seems like if I mist the cage, I can get it up to around 50-60 %, but only for an hour or so before it all evaporates.

What do you guys do? This is about to drive me nuts.
