My JCP's cage should be an ideal setup. Large enough, lots of climbing furniture, aspen substrate, etc, but humidity is driving me nuts.

The top is covered with a wire mesh, to which I have bolted a sheet of acrylic. The only gap is whatever gaps exist around the edge and the hole cut for an IR lamp. I know that the IR lamp will dry out the air somewhat, but I mist daily and have a *huge* water bowl in there as well.

So, I want humidity around 60% for this species. When I mist, it gets up to 80% in no time, but it drops to < 30% within an hour, maybe even within a half hour. The IR bulb is small, only 75w and it's dialed way back with a rheostat so the ambient is only about 82f.

What else can I do to get this enclosure's humidity up and stable?
