humidity

[sjacomos]

Hi I have two hatchlings in a plastic click clack container with a heat pad at one end the container and the water bowl at the other with aquarium stones as the substrate I have also tryed using news paper and paper towels and chicken layer pellets but with every thing that I have tried to use there is still condensation in the enclosure could any one give me some advise:?

Add more air holes to let condensation/moisture escape

Condensation is usually caused by warm moist air hitting cold surfaces
If your room temperature is a lot lower that the click clack you will always have this problem

as longqi said. more air holes. also make sure your snakes arent tipping the water bowl spilling water

thank you for your help I will try these suggestions I think that I will put more holes it it and I might need to put a heater in the room as the room does get really cold at night

could I also get some advise as to what would be the best subtract to use thank you

In your case because of the moisture I would try something that absorbs moisture but still stays dryer on the surface
Possibly some type of spagnum moss may work best but that is just a guess and where you get it from I have no idea

I have used foam in the past [like they use in mattresses] but it need replacing with a spare bit quite regularly while you wash and dry the dirty one
Absorbs moisture really well but most of your moisture will be under the lid if I guess correctly
The extra holes will certainly help

Get rid of the stones and use paper on the bottom......
