I believe hot air can hold more moisture than cold air. That's why it's dryer in winter. The problem is not the air it's the high wattage heatlamp. The radiant heat and infared ray cause the water molecules to excite and evaporate...I could be wrong on this one on the details. But This is more evident in open top cage. The cage dry out very quickly.
