finding it hard to keep humidity in my exo terra tank with my tree python
since the cage has so many ways of letting humidity escape any thing I can do besides getting a new tank?
if not I will just have to go back to my first idea and use a plastic container -.- i was just trying to make a more eye pleasing setup >.>


i have a water setup on the bottom and a little water pump that moves around the water...*makes a coool water fall effect*there is an island in the middle *made of sponge easy to clean*

ok not sure of where exactly the humidity can escape on your tank, not totally familiar with it... Is it the top and sides? I see the towel on top but can't tell if it is covering the sides as well... I would suggest trying to cover it with something that the humidity can't escape through, like plexi-glass or even foil. See if that helps. Also see if you can add a couple of small plants?

Your best best is to get some peices of plexi or acrylic cut to exactly the sides of the enclosure and attach them. You will be essentially converting the thing to a tank!

Merlin, that looks like the all glass one, minus the top. The top has 2 screen windows.

Crested, your humidity is going right through the screen top. Cover half of it up with plexi, that should help.

I do beleive you're right Liz.
I just saw the screen on top and the towel hanging down the side and thought it was the mesh ones.

I came pretty close to picking one up. It was listed on Craigs list for $85 and came with a whole lots of supplies too.

But, i have decided my project this summer needs to be some landscaping, and not more frogs. Sad isn't it?

That's what I said last year. I think the only thing missing at this point is a car that doesn't run in the middle of the lawn. The entire thing needs yanked out (minus the black eyed susans I planted last year) and started over.

it has doors in front..which dont seal super good..i try useing a towel lol it doesnt work becuase of the door's

Now that I actually know which unit we are talking about,...
Those are designed to increase air flow., The lower part is ventilated to pull air in and let it escape out the top. The large area of screen is where your problem lies. The warm air of the enclosure is moving up and pulling the humidity right out the top. Reducing the air loss thru the top is the best option. Get a peice of plexi that fits the top and cut a hole in it just big enough for the dome of your light fixture.
