When i spray in morning I get the humiduity up to around 80% but after few hours it drops to around 60 and then in evening i get it back up to 80%. Is there any automated systems that will increase humidity to constant 80%? As i cannot spray through out the day when i'm back at uni, cheers dan


and merry christmas eve =P

I personally don't feel it is necessary to have such high humidity all the time.


IMO, 80% peaks are fine. Smile As long as there are no long periods of very low humidity.

I think Scott only sprays his hatchlings? Confused

kinda correct, I have never sprayed my adults and they live in mesh vivs with newspaper substrate. The babies and kept in exo terra glass vivs on a peat substrate, each day I let a cup of water drip through the roof and drip down the plants & into the peat.

The adults do have a humid hide/nesting box though.
