Thoughts on bedding mixes & reptifogger issue
For my BP Frost, he currently lives in a 40 gal breeder tank with half the top covered with a towel. I use a reptifogger to keep his humidity up (except for recently it has become VERY loud when it turns on, replacing the fan hasn't fixed it, so I've turned it off for now.) I was wondering what some more experienced people's opinions on mixing bedding is. I use reptibark right now, but I am thinking about mixing in zilla jungle mix bedding with the reptibark to keep his humidity up (spraying the cage doesn't work, I tried it for weeks before I got the fogger). Will mixing the jungle mix in cause any problems with his UTH (moisture vs hot glass is bad I've heard)? In addition to the UTH under his favorite hideout, I have a CHE on the "cool" side of his tank since my bedroom air temp is too cold for him, so I'm not worried about him getting too cold. Also, would it stay too wet & give him an RI or scale rot? Or would he like it more? This is only if I get rid of the fogger. I can't get the damn thing to stop rattling around when it turns on, squeezing the housing makes it shut up, but I duck tape doesn't hold it in place so it rattles as soon as I let go again.

The jungle mix is this black soil stuff that holds a ton of moisture (the bag in the store had dew on the inside of the bag even). & when it worked, the fogger worked great for humidity. I have it on a timer, 15 mins on for every hour & 30 mins on 4 times a day. The fog control works great for adjusting how much you need depending on the humidity in your house, definitely in winter.

OH! Forgot to mention, I needed the fogger in the first place because without it, the humidity in his tank was always 20% or less.
