thanks mate yea it's a juwel can not remeber model got it years ago but thanks for all the question bud tho take it you have turts then

There are much better and safer ways to increase the humidity for breeding purposes, a simple spray with a plant mister twice a day would be much more suitable and safer for your turtle's health, by keeping the lid on the humidity levels can get much to high, sometimes it not worth taking the risk, i suppose its upto you, but definately worth thinking about. Increasing the basking / land area using the same method as you have used will not decrease swimming area as its above the the water. It appears your tank is in your lounge and that's probably the reason you have the lid on your tank (asthetic reasons).

There are way's to try and make your tank a little more pleasing on the eye and having a completly open top, this is one of my set up's, not everybody's cup of tea but ticks all the boxes.

Just read your post about the vent's in the back, dont the jewel lids have large feeding hatches across the top that can be removed, that would also help alot, it is a very nice tank

really good setup that why i did the threed to get ideas make it better love it yea you can remove some strips of the lid if needed just pull of will do that just the vent ones as i added uv lights to the other so can not remove unless start again ill take it off and see how i get on,
just in the pic their not humidity as it would show on the glass above the water

and ill get a pic off the pond working on it at the mo since ive seen a heran around problem living neer a river so need tho protec them mainly the males as their smaller

now now to upload now
