what makes you think it's not enough?

Are they shedding ok? Do they have a water bowl to drink from?

i've seen a few pics on here and everyone seems to have droplets on the sides of there vivs, mine doesn't.

i do have a water bowl in there and they are growing so i assume they are shedding (i haven't witnessed it myself)

That could be my fault...I spray my cresties at night and then because this is when they are most active that is when I take pics. There isn't water droplets constantly on my viv. By morning it is dry again (just the soil is damp), then at night it gets sprayed again.

yer, you should only need to spray at night really and let it dry until the next night.
that will be enough.
they do not need too high humidity.

I spray mine most nights, sometimes I have forgotten Embarassed

I give it a good spray, all over the plants and let it drip onto the eco earth... My humidty is 65-70%, they are active, feeding well, hunting and shedding... I shouldnt panic too much mate.
