    bigger water bowl = increased humidity.

    is it true that a bigger water bowl will increase the humidity percentage in the tank. i have a piece of plastic with a towel on top of it but it doesnt seem to hold humidity very well. i also have a fogger that doesnt really work that great.

    A water bowl with a larger surface area will increase the humidity, as long as the tank is mostly enclosed (foil over the screen top or similar) so the humidity doesn't all escape. A deeper water bowl won't help.

    Those foggers suck in my opion! I had one and it only lasted a couple of months! As stated, a shallow but large water dish helps humidity! You can also put some of the water dish on the heat pad!
