You could add more additional water containers.

Some people put a wet sponge in it.

I keep reading about the two different humidities - wet bulb and relative. And how they get confused and people have the humidity too high.

Let me see if I can find some links.

What kind of bator air or still and where is your temp at??? Understand time does NOT matter. Days do but not time, doesn't matter if you set them at 8 in the morning or 8 at night..

NO YOU DONT, 80 and above will kill them. Keep it at 65...
