    Humidity Question

    Ive been researching, and havent found it.. so my question. I have a 20L tank. im working on blacking it out, but i think thats more for heat. i have very dry air in my room. i have done several mists (nearly soaks) today. Once I mist it, it holds for a couple about 2 hours max at like 52% humidity and then drops and holds around 21%. This is a problem because of my job. I cant mist every two hours. I need some ideas. Im trying a Moist shop rag right now and it seems to do okay. If i put the water bowl on the UTH, wont that defeat the purpose of the UTH where the snake lays to keep warm?

    Is it a screen lid?
    Plexiglas the lid.

    You can make a humidity hide.
    Place a humidifier in your room.

    Are you using a bulb for heat?
    They can really dry the air out.

    Look for the press and seal ziplock stuff at the store. You can use that over the lid away from the bulb.

    For the humidity hide. Pick up a cheap tuperwear container, cut out a hole big enough for him. Place some wet moss inside.

    Good luck with him. It's already getting pretty dry here too.
