Depends on your set up.

Balls don't need really high humidity so you shouldn't be spraying except when they are in shed.

Post your set up we'll let you know what changes you can make.

Here it is. I got the Heating pad on the back on the right side. Is that ok? or does it need to be on bottom?

The heat should be on the bottom. Also, take off the light on the left and cover the top with something(I use a plastic trash bag cut to size and duct tape). This should keep humidity in.

Ok I will put heat on bottom. I got a peice of plexy on it. I move to other side when I switch light at night. Thanks for you help guys. This is an older picture if you noticed the bedding.same plexy.

You really don't need holes in the plexi. That's where a lot of humidity will escape. There is enough ventilation around the light.

Hey,

You can also go to Lowes or Home Depot. Go to where they sell the ventilation Ducts and connectors. Find the silver colored silver insulation rolls. They sell a small size and they have silver tape to go with it. Cover the entire screen lid to the light. You will only need to spray about 1 time every couple days to keep the humidity up.

Good luck,
Bill
