New adjustments to enclosure really helped humidity

[Kvoigt]

So when i went to the lumber yard to pick up things for the hatchlings tort table the other day... i also picked up some 1x4s.. i secured them around the tort table (total of 9)and stapled plastic all around and on top and it flaps down over the front. i can just lift the front part do my tort stuff and pull it back down to fully cover his enclosure.. !!! this is awsome way excited that its working soooo well. im not gna have to spray the substrate as much(already have gone through 3 spray bottles in 2.5 months) or pour as much water in as often!!! the basking spot is at 101-105* the cool side is at 80* his humid hide is usually 82-85* and 80-90% humidity. and the general humidity in the encolsure befor i put the plastic all over was usually 40% and i just checked its at 67% and its not even been n hour im soo glad everything worked just as i pictured it.. now speaking of pictures my stupid camera phone wont take a decent pic.. the plastic is clear and so not showing up in the pic also my tort table is kinda big and i cant get the whole thing in one pic but im goin to try after a while again to get pics posted!! now to plan the hatchlings plastic canopy!!!!!

Glad it worked for you. When I decided to go for the large totes with lids it made things easier for me also to keep humidity up.[/php]

i just checked on it again its holding temps in the 80s on the cooler side and 98-103* in the basking spot and average of 84* in his humid hide. the humidity is 40-60% by his light and 65-80% in various spots in his enclosure. his humid hide is 80-90% humidity. we will see how warm it stays tonight. *fingers crossed* hoping it all works like it should...
