    of 90 degrees trying to dry it out, yet my humidity is hovering around 90%. I don't want to keep
    little gomez in that type of humidity for long do I? what should i be doing.

    On a side note he really seems to like it. I couldn't maintain humidity well with the last type of bedding
    i had (which was called forest floor) needless to say he didn't shed in one piece this time and this has really
    helped. BUT REGARDLESS i really don't think i want to keep him in there all night at that humidity.

    Your thoughts are all appreciated.
    Those humidity levels are fine as long as there isn't a lot of condensation forming inside the cage.

    Here is a chart showing average humidity levels in the parts of Africa where BP's come from:
