We have a new BP - a beautiful 3 mos old BEL and tested her temp enclosure and focused mainly on hot side, cool side and ambient temperature and making sure humidity was high ENOUGH but it’s really just a bit too high I think.
We introduced the BP to the new tub setup and she seems fine - she even took her 1st rat pup in it last night very quickly.
Its a pretty simple setup:
- 32qt tub with reptitherm UTH and thermostat.
- Lots and lots of holes but they are small due to size of solder iron
- 2 hides / 1 decent size water bowl
- Unprinted newspapers to watch for mites etc
Paper is not wet.
- Hot side stays around 90-91 at surface
- Ambient temp is 70 degrees
- Humidity stays between 85-89%
I’m using a Govee hygrometer that I can see from my phone - it’s new and I think it’s ok. I actually have two of them and I have swapped them out and they both show the same humidity reading.
Any suggestions?
