If that dont work, ill swap with the blueys enclosure, i cant get that ABOVE 40% for tryin!
the blues enclosure instead where it can have a decent water bowl all the time and the humidity wont go above 40%.
Can you describe that enclosure for me inny? Size, vent size and location, heat type and location, substrate... ya know ;) cheers
 
Sam, its pine, 3ft longx2.5wx2.5 high one circular vent at the back near floor about 5 or 6 cm across, 3 the same at the back/top on heat side, but 2 closed. stained/sealed,2ft flouro on ceiling at back, 250w ceramic in cage
as heat source. largish water bowl at front on cool side approx 12cm per side triangular and 5cm deep (gravel to 2cm.) Substrate euclyptus mulch, hollow logs branches, fake plants, glass doors.
Thats it.
Originally it was "raw" pine, i thought it might be soaking up moisture but i sealed it, same humidity, then i sealed two of the 3 vents on the hot side, still no change. dont know why!
pic in my gallery. :wink:

p.s. also tried waterbowl directly under the heat but it wouldnt budge.
Im sure of the readings, i use a digi hygro and ive put so many new high grade batteries in to make sure its not funny. Also borrowed another hygro, same reading. Go figure. Anyway its fortunate for the shingle.
 
I must say a BIG BIG thanks to shermy who at the last minute was able to pick up my shingle for me.............My car broke down as we were trying to leave my driveway...........fuel pump is gone.............So lots of dollars later I will have my shingle............Sherm.................can you sex them at all........


Anyway.............THANKS SHERM.
 
Thanks for that inny... I think a nice dry substrate, lot of heat with good ventilation up high seems to be about all you can do. 250 watt ceramic!!! I only have 150s in 1200mm cages!
 
Sorry Sam, got logged off. yeah imthinking of swapping the 250 to the big beardy tank 5ftx5ftx2.5ft, and gettin a lower watt one for it. cant be good on/off so much eh?
