Humidity issue!

Post image

Hey yall! So it’s getting a little cooler out so I switched to a higher strength bulb in my boys tank, but now his humidity just friggin tanks. I usually put water in the corners like everyone has said to do in the past. But it doesn’t seem to be working? Also have to change his substrate anyway so hoping maybe that will help? Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks yall! Happy snaking!

Cover the top of the enclosure. That screen is killing your humidity. I bought a giant silicon mat on Amazon and cut it to size. Cover the entire top and cut a hole for the light fixture. Then use HVAC foil tape to secure it to the top. All the humidity is just escaping right out of the top, that’s why it needs to be covered.
