    70 is too low for the cool side, the minimum temperature anywhere in a BP enclosure should be 75F. You may want to add a (thermostat controlled) heater to the room or try a method of adding a CHE to the tub.
    .

    Also are you measuring the humidity with a digital hygrometer or one of these?



    Analog hygrometers (as shown above) can be very inaccurate. My BP stresses out and tries to escape if the humidity is over 85% (this happens if fresh cypress mulch is added without drying it a bit first) when he’s not shedding so humidity issues are also a possibility.
