You're right...Garrick feeds on Thursdays. I'm going to try Weds or Thurs if I can find him in the enclosure. He's been hiding ever since I opened the door to the enclosure. I went out and bought some feeders today so I'm ready.

    I'm using the Vivarium Electronics TH-100 which is both a thermometer and Hygrometer. I have it Velcro'ed to the top of the cool side enclosure with the probe dangling.

    So how did you solve your humidity issues? My tank glass is steamed up. I'm wondering next time if I should even moisten the reptichip.
    I went with this lovely boy! https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...ression-Thread!
    I admit I was pretty close to getting his GHI super mojave, but mystic potions are my dream snake


    For my humidity I had my cage door open overnight and pointed a fan to blow into the ventilation holes. I've also reduced the amount of substrate in some areas.

    I'm still not sure if I've solved my humidity problem yet since I'm getting two different readings from two different meters (both are acurite). My glass is slightly steamed as well and one meter says it's at 75% which I'm fine with, but another is saying 81%. So I'm still trying to figure out which one to go by/which is more accurate lol. Makes me wonder if I should have just gotten the model you have haha.

    For me I'm noticing it gets higher durring the day, because last night (day 2 of substrate) it was pretty stable at 65-70%. I'll be trying this tonight and I'll let you know if it makes a difference, but I was thinking of mixing a dryer substrate, taking out scoops of reptichip and trading it with reptibark or a dryer batch of reptichip.

    Also I haven't thought of velcro! Did you just glue the velcro backing to the cage or was it an adhesive backing?
