what is the temperature and humidity inside?

Am afraid i dont know exact temperature but tis quite warm n wet in tanks. Am using heat mats but have just read somewhere that this is not a good idea unless its a really cold room which its not during the day, maybe i should just use these at night?

So, you'd like a dryer environment?

What is the temp in the room they are kept in?
In my T room the odd time when I turn the heater off for a bit, I will get some condensation in the deli cups and vials. As soon as I turn the heat back on it goes away.

The reason why that happens, fartkowski, is because when the temperature falls, air cannot sustain as much water in it as before and dew appears. Then when you heat the room up, the water drops evaporate.

Jen,
If you think that the temperature is alright, then you must have misted the enclosure when the temperature was higher. So just wipe it off and try to keep the temperature steady.
