Re: Built My First Rack Setup

Yep, they're way too humid. The only time I have condensation in my tubs is when one of the Ball Pythons makes a mess. Pretty handy in that case actually, I know when a cleanup is needed as soon as I walk in the room. Temperate species shouldn't ever fog up though, so more ventilation is definitely needed. Something else I've found that helps keep humidity under control is using a covered water bowl. I use covered water bowls in all my tubs, save the Ball Python tubs. Dial in the humidity with a covered water bowl by adjusting ventilation, then take the lid off the water bowl when the animal goes into shed for an instant humidity boost. Misting is a waste of time, properly controlling natural humidity is the way to go. If you really need to crank up the humidity you can move the water bowl over the heating element.
