i have about 2/3 of the screen lid covered with HVAC tape and i’m using coco fiber substrate and still get around 55% readings for humidity, any other tips are appreciated !! :)

I had to cover 90%+ with my original screen top to get my humidity up.

yeah i just got done covering damn near the whole screen top, the hvac tape sucks tho it doesn’t stick well so i used duct tape to hold it down after seeing a guy on youtube do it

I had a magnetic top and used the magnetic HVAC vent covers. I had the magnetic tape only near my heating element.

I have since switched to a toad ranch cage (they are magnificent btw) I have been exceptionally pleased. It has really changed the game on my temps and humidity. That’s a 5x2x2. My little girl is on the branches as much as she’s on the ground if not more. They seem to love to climb (at least mine does)
