High humidity in rack

[alittleFREE]

I just got V-70 rack from c serpents. My concern is humidity in rack is going at 75-80% right now.. I use reptile prime coconut fiber bedding and do not spray at all.. I got a water bowl, decent size in V-70 tub. Putting holes is my last priority since I can’t undo that if I need to.. Does thick bedding affect the humidity? Should I remove some bedding and check? I live in Colorado and my room is at like 50%.. I see little condensation on top inside the rack. Is that bad? Bedding is not wet at all.

Is the water bowl near the heat source? My gut is telling me that's probably the cause, since you say it's a decent size bowl.

Thick bedding would hold moisture and therefore up the humidity if you were misting it, but since you aren't, then I'm not sure it makes that much of a difference (though I could be wrong).

I'd do a little experiment if I were you - take the bedding out of one tub, replace with newspaper, but leave the water in. In another tub, leave the bedding, but take the water bowl out.

Check the humidity tomorrow and see what the results are and if anything has changed in those tubs.
