Hokay so I just got my bp tonight! He seems to be doing just fine so far, loves the hide I got for him on the cool side.

Anyway, I didn't read the FQA about CHE sucking up humidity until after I got it. >.> Pretty sure I need the emiter or the tank will get too cold, and won't have a basking spot. But the humidity stays at about 40-48% unless I've just misted. Promptly after a mist, humidity rises to about 60%. I have a cardbard cover over a good portion of the tank, and the water dish is right next to an under tank emiter (which is actually on the side of the tank), and the dish is right below the CHE.

That's all the tips I've seen so far to keep up the humitiy... but its staying at a not-good-enough 40ish %. Anyone have any ideas for me?

As always, initial thanks to anyone with some tips for me!
