better temp and humidity substrates
well ever since i bought my uth, ive used teh astro turf bedding. warm side was at 87 degrees with humidity of 42. still got a perfect shed with that. well today i switched to aspen substrate and now the temp is at 89 with a humidity of 70 percent. ( i know thats too high, but i just cleaned out the tank this morning to so its a bit damp in there). Ill keep yous posted if your interested
Re: better temp and humidity substrates
I just put some aspen in my enclosure...right before hopping on the forums.
How are you regulating your humidity with the ambient humidity we have down here?
I just put the water bowl in and aspen, so i know the humidity is going to climb much higher than the ambient 55-60 that we have down here (or at least I see)..
Re: better temp and humidity substrates
luckily,my humidity was at a stable mid 40 percent by just placing the water bowl over the warm side of the tank. i keep most of the screen lid covered with just enough space to allow air in and out. i dont even mist the tank anymore. ill let you know what the humidity is once the tank is fully air'd out.
Re: better temp and humidity substrates
oh OK you have a tank. So it would be pretty different for me. I have some sterilite plastic tubs.
Hey I sent you a PM regarding rodents...dunno if you ever check your PM's, but i sent you one :)
