    Thumbs down After drilling holes, humidity is still extremely high?

    Has anyone else ever drilled like 10 holes in each side of their plastic tub and STILL had the Acu-Rite reading "HI %" ???

    Should i just drill tons more?

    What is the actual humidity? Because mine reads "HI %" for anything over 40%. You could also try moving the water bowl to the cool side - if you already did that... I'm guessing probably more holes.

    It started at about 50% and gradually just kept getting higher...i'll try to move it to the cold side, its more towards the middle right now

    If that doesnt work get a smaller water bowl. And put a fan in the room to circulate the air more.

    0.3 Normal, 1.1 100% Het Albino, 1.1 Yellowbelly, 1.1 Mojave
    1.0 50% Het Axanthic, 1.1 Hypo, 1.0 66% Het Clown, 0.1 Black Pastel
    0.1 Spider, 1.1 VPI Pastel, 1.0 Reduced Pattern, 1.0 Pinstripe

    Re: After drilling holes, humidity is still extremely high?

    Your first problem is being a Packers fan But let your cage air out for a bit before drilling more holes.. I too move my water bowls around to control my humidity.. I usually move it to the warmer side when I know they are about to shed and move it back after the shed is complete.

    Re: After drilling holes, humidity is still extremely high?

    Ryan, try taking out the Accu-Rite, pull the batteries, replace them and then set the unit and it's probe near but not in the enclosure. Get a read on what it says the room is to check if it seems to be reading close to correct.

    What substrate are you using? Are you sticking the Acu-Rite way down into the substrate or setting it on top of the substrate? How do you have the unit and it's probe set up?
