    For all of those who struggle with keeping humidity in glass tanks!

    Since Marshall has expressed his fear of the spray bottle, I had to come up with a better idea for humidity. So, I took the towel on top of the screen and misted it, and put on top of the screen. It worked wonders! For anyone who struggles with humidity, definitely try this!!

    Where have you been? That's usually one of the first tips thrown out. I don't like it though because it can make the screen rust.

    I prefer putting moist moss in the hides.

    The clay balls as a base underneath the coconut husk works great at holding water. You can add a lot of water without fear of mildew, sold at Petsmart.

    I also added small lava rocks underneath as well.

    I put some lava rocks on top which holds extra water and also aids in shedding.

    I was having difficulties with heat and humidity, and I covered the top of the lid with foil (shiny side down) not under the light of course, but it works wonders. Raises my heat by 7 or 8 degrees and keeps in humidity perfectly (haven't misted in a month)
