Hi, as you know Ive got a hatchling and his eyes have gone blue/grey.
I just wanted to know how do I raise the humidity as its only a small viv I made myself. I have the "viv" on a heat mat about a third maybe less on it to provide the warmth, advice would be appreciated thanks.
If it would help there is a pic of some sorts on the post I first put up called my new snake in the photo section.

Try placing the water dish on top of the heat mat. If thats not enough then try covering some of the vents as well
