    If you just got it set up maybe the condensation is because the outside of the Glass/PVC is cool and the inside is 90 already. Give it 24hrs and the PVC & Glass should be heated threw and that will stop condensation from developing.

    I have the same style T8's with the divider. The left side stays way more humid than the right because its door is on the inner track so it has less ventilation than the right side. There's not much you can do about it, other than not spray the left side as much, or do what I did and put juvenile BRB's on the left side and juvenile Dumerils boas on the right side.

    Re: T8 condensation issues..

    I have the same issues with mine occasionally. A light fan in the room pointed relatively in the direction of the cages will help a bit

    Your water bowls are to close to the heat. Move them all the way to the wall and it should take care of it. Hear causes evaporation to increase
