It seems i did too well sealing, I have had trouble with humidity since I finished it. Its always been 55 to 60 something but now its 94! How do I reduce it?

Also Guys im using this to measure with. I FREAKIN LOVE IT. I set the white thing in the cage and have a wall with the monitors so I can see who has what temps/humidity. Makes life easy peasy.

TaylorŪ Indoor/Outdoor Thermometer-Hygrometer with Remote Sensor (1525) - Home Thermometers - Ace Hardware (http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3203776&cagpspn=pla)

I suggest this product. Leave the remote in the set up and hang the receiver on the wall, label and BAM. Great things.


So is too high a humidity too bad? Its so humid the water has beaded up on everything. I think this has to do with pajaaamas knocking over his rubbermaid tub two nights ago.

give the dirt a chance to stabilize, when I first sealed up my cage, the humidity was so high the hygrometer maxed out.

It took a week to come back down.

Just think of it as monsoon season for now.

I have to say i had the opposite first encounter, i had to soak and soak the dirt to get it moist enough to retain good humidity.

and now its raining in there and there is mud errryyyywhere. Poor pajaaamas looks like a walking clog of dirt. Some how though I think he is enjoying it because he keeps rubbing his face on everything. Can monitors mark stuff?

Yes they do... Chomper used to mark the yard.
