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) _________________ Leopard Geckos 1.2.5

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
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. _________________ Custom made vivs to your requirements. Pm me or email to qualityvivs@hotmail.co.uk |
