Moss, vent's and larger water bowl made it spot on

well she has three top n two bottom vents so might be wise to maybe block one off.. she has large water bowl.. its the base type bowl for plant pots.... guess i could put a humidity box in!!!! ... my moss tends to be only kept for when they are in shed..

I use repti bark, even that was starting to dry out. Mixed it with moss and retains the water after misting for much longer

As Welly saids, did the same with mine and now its spot on. I just have 1 vent at either end now. At the bottom on the cool side and the top on the warm side so the air still circulates throughout.
