Wet Towels for humidity
For those of you who keep a damp towel on top the cage to help increase humidity, Do you need to replace the towel or can you keep rewetting it?
Do You have to worry about anything bad growing on the towel or is it okay for a while?

Is the cage a screen top? Replacing it or just moving the towel around is necessary to prevent rusting if it is. That's what I do!

Well then your signature needs to be updated I guess.

Depends. Are you having to soak them completely or just moisten them and ring them out? If you're taking them off everyday to get them wet, they'll be fine for 2-3 weeks before you even have to consider growth. Once they start getting harder and crinkly I change them out--trust me, you'll be able to tell when this is.

Hmm... at the moment I've just been spraying the bottom (currently using a big towel thats folded) with a spray bottle... so I haven't gotten it wet enough to need to wring it out... but I'm still having trouble keeping the humidity up so I may have to try that

I say cover the screen with foil or foil tape, add moss to the hides to create humid hides, mist appropriately.
I did this and my sheds have been great ever since.
During non shed I mist the moss and let it dry back out. During a shed I soak the moss and keep it damp through the shed process.

If I used foil how covered would I cover it? I obviously have to leave space for airflow and I have a infrared lamp for ambient heat on it
