| How are you measuring it, 41% is less than normal room humidity? |

| Is it a digital or a dial hygrometer? Dial type tend not to be very accurate. To show you just how bad they are I have a digital and a dial type in my animal room, the digital is currently reading 47% and the dial is showing 65%. If it is a digital hygrometer your using then you could move the water dish closer to the warmer end if its not already there. |

| Ok your water dish is in the cool end. What type of hygrometer are you using? if its a dial type I would throw it away and get a digital type before doing anything at all. |

| Are you sure its a hygrometer and not a min max digital thermometer, only 88 degF is pretty much 32degC |
