If I remember, you have AP cages, as do I.

If humidity gets too high, I go into the snake room several times a day and open the doors to the cage/s and point an industrial type fan directly towards one side of the cage at a 45 degree angle and the air escapes out the other end taking humidity with it. I do this for 5-10 minutes or until a snakes tries to escape. This does a rapid quick fix, but the high humidity can bounce back within an hour or two. But repeating this will eventually bring it down to a stable %.

If things are way out of hand with water on the windows and sides, then I barely open the doors on each side of the cages about **1/4 inch.(after doing above step) I check frequently to make sure no one is trying a prison break. Usually within 24 hrs humidity will drop to the 70 ish range. You can do this with or without the fan running.

** only leave the doors agape if they are glass! I’ve had my big Carpets and Boas bend the thick plastic doors permanently and escape. They have also blown the doors out AND the tracks out due to the spring action of the plastic. So this potential may be worse with your Burm.

Other than these tips, you could install adjustable vents.
Hey Reinz nice to hear from ya. The Burm enclosure is perfect. I keep him at 70% anyway. The Balls are whats bothering as others have always said 50-60%. In your reply you mentioned after 24 hrs your Humidity drops to the 70ish range. Is that to say you are generally in that range for Balls?
If so I have nothing to worry about.. in 68-70 but was always 52-60% other years. Maybe its the rain we have gotten this year. Even with the AC on I’m sure the outside humidity could definitely affect things inside.
Ive never had a damp or sweating enclosure. Thats only happened when someone spilled a Bowl. Thanks for your insight. It’s one of those things I can’t get out of my head even when im working. I’m afraid the Albino girl isnt content. When I open the cage she come right out onto my arm day or night. She starts to periscope right away and wants to get down and is crazy inquisitive. Strange for a Ball but she has always been outgoing since a month old. She Is 3 this summer.
