How often do BP's shed?

[truthsdeceit]

Remember that with the towel technique, as the towel is drying it is actually pulling moisture back out of the tank

which is why it has to be kept really wet and checked often.

i already have a piece of foil on top, its covering just enough of the top so that the heat lamp is open. then at night, i slide the foil over to the other side and turn on the blacklight. i just cannot keep the moisture up at all?? definately cant keep it steady. i can try to cover the top a little more, but if i go much further, the light will be covered? i have to mist the tank about every hour to keep it at 50%.

Maybe try a CHE instead of a light emitting bulb? I switched from a night bulb to a CHE and it doesn't zap my humidity near as much.

With the night bulb I was misting every hour too, now I mist twice daily.

Do you keep two water bowls? keeping one in the cool side to drink and one partly on the heat pad to evaporate can help a lot too.
