So I have a couple of bp's in a rack (from CSerpents) and heating-wise it's great, but I have a problem with getting humidity up. I use Repti-Chip, and it's doing it's best, but I can't get it up to the 50% range for long. It mostly stays between 43-47% within the tubs. When I mist I can get it to the 55-60% range but it doesn't last more than a couple of hours before the Repti-Chip dries out. And unfortunately, the room they're in is the most humid area in the house...but it's normally between 16-25%. Ambient temperature stays between 79-82 degrees F in the room though, and the rack maintains 90 degree hot side and 80-ish degree cool side. I even have the water bowls closer to the warm end, and even that is struggling. They’re wide bowls too, meant for dogs!
I don't want to cause any stress/potential molding issues with more than once daily mistings as that's what I might have to do, unless there's anyone with a similar issue that has any advice? I'm new to using racks, so it is a bit of a stress on me until I'm able to solve this. Or would it be a better investment to buy a humidifier for the room in general? If so, what do I set it at so it won’t get TOO humid for the tubs?
Thanks in advance! 😁
