The tank was indeed stable previously without misting, or at least misting far less often. I had set up the tank 2-3 weeks prior to getting him. The substrate has not changed and I think that’s the problem, the amount of water it’s holding at a given time has slowly declined over the course of these weeks. The amount of misting I’m currently doing tends to bring the enclosure down to around 29.7 degrees, I could try turning up the CHE to balance it out at a higher temp. I have alarms set to go off if the air temp exceeds 33C if safety is a concern in that solution.
Also, I don’t plan on switching to pvc any time soon. I just got this enclosure and please understand that me and my family have already spent a decent amount of money on it. Perhaps in a couple years when Fettuccine grows out of his current tank, but not yet.
Should I try giving the substrate a thorough watering? I don’t think changing it right now would be the greatest idea. Considering my BP has hardly been in this enclosure for 2 days.
By the way don’t worry, the time the humidity dropped to 30% was before the snake was introduced, a couple days before I believe.
