Humidity

[GoggletheVeiled]

I have a question about humidity. My girl's cage is going up in humidity and I am not sure how to get it down. Also, I recently changed her cage and found mold on the bottom. I checked my cham to make sure she was not sick (Eyes, nose, mouth, etc.) She's fine. But I'm not sure how to make it go away. Is it the coconut substrate that I use for her cage? Just want to make sure that she is taken care of well. The top is screen. But the sides are glass. I leave her door open sometimes to help the humidity go down...

Get rid of the coconut fiber and go with a bare bottom enclosure. What are your day and night time humidity readings ?

By bare bottom, do you mean no substrate or anything else at the bottom of the enclosure?
70% usually at night. 40%-50% during the day. But it usually stays at high 40%s

No substrate is needed, just your plants setting on the bottom
