Too humid?

Maybe I am stating the obvious, but it's a good place to start.

Where is the water dish (warm/cool end)?
If at warm, move to cool

Can you increase ventilation?

There's another active thread about substrate. Maybe a change another type like aspen, as it doesn't hold moisture for so long as bark or other subs.

Cant think of anything else, but when i do, i will post more.

Down... Increase ventilation, smaller water bowl, placed in the cool end, use a dry substrate such as beech chips.

Ha ha, yeah, notice both replies started with 'Too humid?', 'Down..' to clarify which way round the problem was.

If you are getting condensation on the side of the viv, it's because the air outside is much cooler than inside.

Turn ya heating up!
