    Re: Tub Heating Question

    Try a much smaller bowl(shorter and not as much surface area). Also, you will either want to cut those hides down so they aren't more than about an inch or two high, or you can get the bottoms that fit on those pots(the water catchers). They make great hides and all you have to do is cut small entrances in the sides.

    Okay, I will definately take your advice and cut those hides in half. I will also get a smaller bowl. Once I get home today I will check all that out and see what happens... I doubt the temperature will be any different but at least the humidity will improve... THANKS!

    Re: Tub Heating Question

    Another uth set to a diff temp will def fix your problem. I dont know much about thermostats, but I think most of them can control more than 1 device. If you live in a really humid place, drill/solder more holes in the tub. This will help cut down the humidity and help keep good air flow, which means you dont get stagnant air. Like people said, get a different water bowl, wide and shallow is good, just big enough to allow your bp to soak in, and about half as deep as the snake is wide. I tend to think commercial brands like exo-terra are best for water dishes, as they are perfect sizes, and heavyweight so they dont tip them over. Also, if humidity is still really high, use a lamp, which will increase your ambient temps and suck down some humidity. There are some stickies on how to do this, but if you need some help, just send me a pm.

    Good luck
