Hey everyone, I was just wondering, I've been watching my cephs and it seems like their lids like to open mainly in the morning, and as the day gets later, they seem to close up alittle bit more. I'm thinking maybe the humidity gets lower later on? anyone else see this happening?

Yes, this does happen. It's thought to be a water conservation measure - as the temperature rises and humidity drops, the pitcher lids close to reduce moisture losses from inside the pitcher.
