URI is a product of high humidity and poor air flow... it sounds like you have good air flow so I'd not be overly bothered.

Get a smaller water dish and use newspaper or paper towels. Aspen holds in humidity. I really don't have any other ideas than that. I don't have any holes in one of my racks and I don't have an issue with humidity unless I spill water in the tub.

Low humidity can also cause URI's...

I use paper towels, I get it for free at work. I will check when I get home. If its steady I may just let it be.

Do you have a documented source for that? I have seen someone told me and such but never a documented reliable source. If you have one I'd be very interested, it make little logical sense.

I have no scientific documentation but seems most of the big boys have concluded that low humidity can bring on RI's...
Brian from BHB mentions it briefly in this post... http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...m-low-humidity
It's also mentioned here: http://www.royalconstrictordesigns.c...hon-care-sheet
I also know it was brought up in a thread here...

Humidity is still 80-82%. No condensation, but still high. Should I just let it be? Nzuri is just starting to shed so this will be good to help. I just don't feel its good in the long run..

I'd not worry you have lots of air holes so good ventilation. I imagine you have quite high humidity in your room.? If things start to smell musty or mouldy time for a big clean past that it isn't a problem.

Yes the humidity in my room is around 55%
