Airflow
Do I need holes in my crabitat lid for airflow? I had some holes drilled in my lid, but we always have creepy crawly things here at school so I covered them with some tape. Will that make the humidity too high? I use heat lamps (right now until my UTH shows up) so it dries out the air some, but I do have an air stone in my FW pool. Is the tape OK over the holes?

Re: Airflow
You do not need holes. There will be enough air exchange when the lid is opened for feeding and watering.

Re: Airflow
As long as your temps and humidity is in good range, they'll be fine.MrTeacherDude wrote:Will it be fine overnight?

Re: Airflow
Temp is a hair over 80° and I've got moisture on the glass on the inside.

Re: Airflow
Can humidity get TOO high? Earlier today my hygrometer shot up to 78%, which when calculating for the 20% that's it's low is a humidity of 98%. I left the lid open for a few minutes and it's regulated to around 88-89%

Re: Airflow
From what i heard too high isn't bad it just can cause mold. My levels are high and I'm trying to hit the 85 % mark but it always goes up to 88 or 90 lately.
