i had the same problem with humidity and i built the humidifier and it helps but didn't get the job done so i bought four paws terrium stuff and this stuff is like a big sponge and it keeps my humidity at 70% which is were i like to keep it i just have to poor a can of water on it like every 3 days it doesn't get drenched like news paper thats another reason i like it were ever i poor the water it stays there. And i use a heat pad and a red bulb which doesn't affect my humidity at all.
