A humidity mistake

[TheLastGreen]

My hingeback is going strong. I have noticed that the enclosure humidity has been dropping quite quickly since the beginning and I've realised why.

These vents. I can't believe I haven't noticed them yet, so my "closed enclosure" was never closed, and that was why my humidity kept dropping

Yep, that will do it.

See if you can find some peices of plastic or something that fit on top of those vents. That way you can slide them open or closed to regulate the humidity.

@ZEROPILOT I tried it, I used plastic wrap, so it sealed perfectly, and drops are already forming on the glass, so it worked like a charm

If you experiment, you can get the coverage of the vents to balance with the space to get the humidity high enough, w/o forming condensation on the glass. Raising the temp in the surrounding room by a degree or two will help exponentially given the relationship btwn Temp and Humidity.

good luck......

Yes.
I've found this to be true.
Some venting is needed. Just not much
