Switched to Newspaper...Humidity went up?

[bsash]

So I cleaned my BP cage today, hides everything full scrub. I took out the cypress and put in newspaper.


So I go down after an hour and the humidity was like 80%!

I moved the water bowl to the one part where there isn't a UTH (I use two on different thermostats.)


Could it just be water I missed drying? KInda weird.

Well, if you are using a ceramic or one of those resin real looking dishes they heat up and evaporate a lot of water when sitting right on an under the tank heat mat, making the humidity go up. When you were using the cypress, it wouldn't have heated up so much. Since you already moved it, you should not have an issue.
