How to raise my Humidity?
Ok I've got a ARS 7030 rack and the temps are just fine, but humidity is really bad. Having a lot of bad sheds here recently. I use Aspen shavings for bedding. The water bowl is fixed so cant be moved. I do mist, but not daily...I would say once a week or when I see them go into blue. Any suggestions?
How to raise my Humidity?
Use a substrate that holds humidity better, (Eco earth, mulch) you need to have all round good humidity not just when they go into pre shed.

Personally, I have a humidifier (controlled by a humidistat) in my snake room to keep humidity just as consistent as I keep temperatures. Is that an option for you?
If nothing else, is there a way for you to send that 7030 my direction? ;)
LOL, cant send it your way, sorry. Haven't thought about a humidifier. Sounds like a good solution.

No!!!!!
Cypress can be used or coco fiber (echo).
I have a humidifier that helps a little.

Yea I knew it was "NO" on the Cedar. But a Humidifier would be something I'm going to look into!
