I have just put extra holes in the top, and wiped the condensation, it seem to be ok for now, will take pics of the setup later. |

I had this with one of my hatchies a bit back. I removed her from the tub and placed her in another while I made extra holes. Never had a problem since. After that I gave her a couple of extra days settling in time and she was fine. |

Yep I have the box in a bigger 3ft viv ready for Fluffy to be released into, the water is only in a small dish but all the wood chipping is dry so not spilt, the temp is steady between 23-26c, and the water is not over the heat mat, I dont want to go in and mess about as he/she is on a 7day setteling in period, but at the same time I am worried as it may be to humied in there for Fluffy.
your warm end of the tub needs to be a little higher, about 29c, but obv that has nothing to do with the humidity... hmmm... only other thing i can think of is to put more air holes in the tub you're using. Corns are fine with normal room humidity, but i'm not sure how a hatchling would cope if there's actual condensation forming. you got any pics of your set up? |

how big's the dish of water, and where in the container is it, if the water is above the heat source ie a heat mat (which needs to be statted of course) then that can cause humidity :)
what are the temps etc too? sometimes if the temps are too high, corns might take a dip in the water bowl and spill it bloody everywhere lol
that's all i can think of.. just let us know a bit more info about your set up etc and someone will have some ideas :) |
