[QUOTE="Pasodama, post: 110742, member: 16469"] That's odd if most of the substrate is dry. Maybe there is more moisture than it seems(?). Like only the very top, of the substrate, actually being dry(?). Regardless, you may have to create better/more ventilation. Good cross ventilation will help with having lesser humidity &/or not having "stuffy" environments. Something else you could try, if better/more ventilation doesn't do the trick, is changing out the substrate. Making sure that at least the top 2 thirds, of the added substrate, is actually dry (for Ts who do not require that much moisture or a rather humid climate). Before adding the substrate, you can either set it out to dry naturally or you can stick it in the oven to dry. [/QUOTE]
