Condensation
Quick question:
I've got a ball python in a 20 gal aquarium with one of those wood boards for a lid and repti-bark substrate. This is all a setup I picked up for free off a kid that didnt want to take care of his snake anymore. The lid has warped slightly on one side and leaves what I would guess to be a 1/8 inch gap. My problem is that I am getting pretty bad condensation covering about 3/4 of the tanks sides. I've tried baking the reptibark and replacing, wiping the sides, different placement of the water dish etc. The substrate itself does not seem to even be damp exept along the edges where some water runs down. The humidity gauge stays between 60-70% and the temp range is between 78-85 degrees. I've never used this type of lid before and was wondering if I bought/built a new one if I would have the same problem or should I change something. I know aquariums alone are not great for ventilation and I certainly cant see how this type of lid helps. Any suggestions?
Sorry it took so much space to ask such a simple question. Great site by the way.
thanks in advance
