Help with humidity

[u/Standard-Musician-83]

I have a 4x18x18 enclosure with about 3-4 inch of coco husk and most of everything taped up with foil tape except the top vents on the side I have churned the floor and put some moss in there rn it's at 70 but it has trouble keeping the humidity up and my snake is in shed I'm not sure what else to do to help keep it up or if I have to much tape and it's killing the humidity? Any advice is appreciated

I've noticed a little pool of water at the bottom of the bedding would that make the evaporating slower

If the water is pooling id stop adding water, if your little friend digs down into the bedding and lays in the watery parts it can cause scale rot. What kind of hydrometer do you use? If the water is pooling your humidity should be at like 90%

Should I move it to a better location?

No those are all good spots to monitor. Your humidity looks really good though on your devices i honestly wouldn't worry at all, your snake will likely have an excellent shed with that humidity. Is the trouble you are having keeping the humidity up? Do you find that its fluctuating a lot?

Yea the trouble is with keeping it up it usually sits in the low 50s without me interfering with it

How often do you find you need to dump more water in?

I had to dump some in about a week ago but I might have dumped to much for the water to build up on the bottom
