Keeping tubs
Just have a quick question. I very recently moved my BPs into 32qt tubs with a mini undertank heater on one side. I've never used tubs before. Always tanks. Am using mulch as a substrate. Wondered, is there supposed to be condensation all over inside of it? Didn't know if it was good or bad. I heard tubs hold humidity a lot better than tanks do. All three are around 91-95 degrees and humidity is around 65-70% in all three. Never used tubs before. So just didn't know.

Not sure about the tubs, but your temp seems a bit high. The basking spot should fall about 90° with the ambient temps on the warm side around 80°-85°, I believe (but a more experienced user, correct me if that's wrong).

Temps seem high. Did you drill any holes in the tubs? I only get condensation when a water bowl spills or they pee.

Yeah. Holes in the lid and sides. I don't know how many. A bunch. Please don't make me have to count them.

Substrate
I'm betting substrate was damp. U need it drier or that will happen.

Oh ok. Had to be it. It was a little damp.... And put several more holes in each tub. In case a bunch wasn't enough.
