    Humidity too high.

    The humidity in my plastic tubs is way to high. I have drilled holes to help this, but it only helped a little. What else can I do to lower humidity.

    Re: Humidity too high.

    Keep drilling until the problem is solved. Depending on the size of the holes, it may take a few rows of them along each side to provide enough ventilation to keep humidity down.

    How big is your water bowl? If it is wide and shallow it will create higher humidity. Certain substrates such as cypress hold more humidity than newspaper or aspen. As mentioned above, drilling more holes is an easy route to go.
