    Re: How do you get the humidity down?

    I don't know what brand the enclosure is - we bought from a vendor at Repticon. It is constructed of 1/2" PVC and my husband routed the bottom where the heat tape is because it was not getting warm enough inside. Now that side is 5/16" thick on the bottom. We had her on paper towels for 2-3 weeks after we got her, then we put in substrate (it is Prococo Compressed Cocochip Block/ Premium Coconut Husk). We changed it out last weekend. Both times, the humidity spiked to 80+% and stays that way for several days. The substrate is about 1" deep at most. All the condensation on the walls started when we put in new substrate each time.

    We have not misted, this is all from the substrate. How would we get more ventilation, leave the door open when she's out?
