Keep in mind that I live in the desert and the relative humidity is very low here compared to where you live.....plus the A/C is on all the time, which dries the air even more. If I misted the substrate weekly, the humidity would stay in the 70% range all the time. Its presently sitting at 62% and I haven't misted the cage since her last shed over 2 weeks ago.

Re: How many air-holes in new tub?

I also wanted to mention that humidity in rack-tubs can be more difficult to control, in the summer i always like to use a ceiling fan in my snake room to circulate the air. Without the fan some tubs experience a 15-20% increase in humidity. I really do not know how many holes -no matter the size- would be necessary to bring that humidity down without the fan.
