I'm setting up my tank for my ball python, and my basking side has the right temperature but the humidity is only at 20%. The cooler side is at 53% humidity and right temperature. It is a glass tank enclosure that measures 30x13x13. The top is wood and metal mesh, which I covered 3/4 of with aluminum foil, and put a heating lamp on the basking spot. I plan on putting a blanket on top of the cool side to keep it more insulated and see if I can't raise the temperature that way first.
But how do I raise the humidity? I use newspapers because they are cost efficient, but when I spritz them it makes it look like he peed everywhere because it gets all wrinkly, and it just evaporates too quickly.
What should I do? Add another layer of tin foil? Any suggestions? Many thanks!
