    Re: Humidity Control

    Well there are a few tips for keeping the humidity up in a glass tank, it’ll be hard to keep it from fluctuating a bit between sprays but you can keep it from going too low.

    I don’t know if you already have the screen covered in some way but if not that will help to keep the humidity from escaping. There are a few ways to go about it. The two easier ways that I have done is one to put a dish towel over the screen top, making sure to leave some space for ventilation. Another way that a lot of people do is cover the top partially with foil. I would cut out cardboard to the size of the lid then cut out a space for the heat lamp or CHE or whatever you use for ambient temps and another rectangular gap on the opposite side to allow ventilation. I found a mixture of both methods used to work good for me, placing the damp towel underneath the foil.

    Another good thing for keeping in humidity is moss. I would mix moss into the substrate as well as leave a little on top and make a little hedge of sorts around three walls of the tank and spray those down when I sprayed they tank.

    Lastly I would have two wash clothes that I would put on top of the hides, usually just on the hot side but sometimes on the cold side as well if they were in shed or something. Just take out the rag and rewet it every other day or so and spray it down when you spray the tank.

    I understand the troubles of humidity in a glass tank XD It’s a struggle
