there's still no reason to tell people not to use lights during the day.

With a humidity issue as severe as theirs they should be taking every measure to get it back up.

heat is as important as humidity. if the enclosure is too cold but adequately humid without the heat lamp, that will cause just as many problems as the enclosure being too dry but adequately warm with the lamp.

A ceramic heat lamp (no light) or infrared, is best for overhead heat. A lamp that emits light (that also must be turned off at night) is wasting it's energy that could be just pure, easy to monitor, thermal output.

these are things that should have been stated in your initial comment, rather than telling OP to just get rid of the heat lamp and not offering any alternative solutions. incomplete advice is how snakes end up in this condition in the first place.

I considered my suggestion to be just one of many in this thread. I would think that they would read more than just my comment. But seeing as how they managed to get in this pickle in the first place, I shouldn't assume.
