Re: heat lamps

Not sure if the constant humidity is the best thing. I tend to overspray and then let it "dry out" to an acceptable minimum. For my BP i spray to about 75% and then let it dry to 50% before respraying. Constant higher humidity imo just encourages mould.

Re: heat lamps

Too much wet and scale rot becomes a real possability as well.

Re: heat lamps

Scale rot is a visual thing, and very noticeable.

If the large belly scales start to discolour, the humidity is way too high.

Usually, you would have to be negligent and have sopping wet substrate all the time for this to set in.
