#2140695 Coexist View Profile	Humidity issues? Alright, so my bp is just over 2 1/2 ft and had stopped "exploring" his 30 long tank. I upgraded him to a 40 breeder fish tank (dimensions: 36x12x14) and I’m not having serious humidity issues. I have an UTH on one end and a heat lamp on the other keeping the tank at an average of 80 degrees, so temp is not an issue. I got a larger water bowl that takes up almost 1/3 of the tank, but the humidity doesn’t rise above 34%. I have been misting the tank up to 4 times per day but it continues to drop rapidly. I thought the bedding might be a problem (recycled paper) but I’m not sure. I also tried placing another smaller water bowl in the center which has raised to somewhere between 40 and 50. What else can I do? Thanks! -Freya-
