    Low humidity

    I have been having some issues with my BPs humidity staying high. It is staying at around 30% and everything I mist the tank it goes up for about 10 minutes then just goes back down again. I bought a fogger to fog the viv every 30 minutes but it isn't increasing the humidity at all inside of the viv.
    He is on beech chips, will changing to something like Cyprus mulch help keep the humidity up.
    I am using a komodo thermostat and hydrometer to measure the Temps and humidity.
    The Temps are fine 88-90 hot side about 81-83 cold side.
    His last shed was a full shed and he last shed about 3 weeks ago maybe a little more.

    how are you measuring the hot spot temps? and what is your heat source?

    Re: Low humidity

    Yes I meant thermometer. Sorry about that
    That is ambient hot side as my heat gun broke so can't give you surface temperature and I am using an infrared heat bulb.
    My enclosure is a wooden 4x2x2 vivarium with sliding glass doors
