too much condensation

[ErikBush97]

Hi. I recently switched my BCI's to smaller enclosures (32 qt to 6 qt I think?) They are still very only about four and five months old so they're maybe 18"-30", so a 6 qt tub is perfect for them. Anyways, I put 12 (6 on both ends) holes. I think they're like 2/4 inch holes or something? Anyways, that works great for my other tubs but these ones are drenched.. Literally. My female BCI was soaked. I panicked and check both of them for infections like scale rot and stuff.. They were soaked.. I completely dried their tubs out, dried their hides, gave them new newspapers, and this time I didn't mist them. Within about 20 minutes the walls and top of their tubs are already foggy. How do I keep their enclosures from being so humid and keep them from having so much condensation?

Add more ventilation holes to the lid if you want to lower the humidity in the tub.

you wont get scale rot over night, dont panic, as suggested, add more ventilation holes - dont burn holes in ur tub with ur snake inside tho, plastic fumes are very toxic and carcinogenic, sorry if thats stating the obvious! better to drill them either way

move the water bowl away from the heat source if its close or on top of it

check for drafts near the tub aswell, big tempreture diffrences is what causes condensation to form, and diffrent plastics hold diffrent amounts of heat energy, which is why some tubs work better than others - but of course you need high humidity in the first place to cause condensation, ventilation will solve this
