Humidity

I was wanting to hear how everyone sets up for humidity in their enclosures whether they be racks, tanks, what ever.

Spray bottle..

I use a large water dish, another plastic container with a wet sponge, and a spray bottle if it needs tweaked.

Live in Florida

yeah where you are surrounded by water. would be nice.

wash clothes on the top of screen top.

In my 20L I have a large water dish, and when needed I spritz the glass instead of the substrate. Works like a charm. If it's really bad, I'll lay a t-shirt over the top of the tank.

I have a 20 gallon tank. I cut pieces of plexi-glass for the top and pump in humid air with a Tropicaire humidifier ($20 at Petco). I use a small air pump (5 gallon size) so that it doesn't over-humidify. It's been the best investment I've made thus far. Temps and humidity are perfect. I never have to spritz or anything. Love it.

Well, for my tank I have the top foil/tape treated, I use a wide water dish, and spray the inside glass if it needs a boost. Otherwise, just a nice misting when the cage is total-cleaned. For my tubs, I just mist when the substrate is replaced and it stays pretty stable. And when I get my big display cage working properly, I will be using a Tropicaire humidifier that someone here was nice enough to give me. :)

In general, ambient humidity (which is really low in CO during winter), the type of top you have, substrate, and width of water dish all have a big impact on enclosure humidity. Find the balance you need in your situation and it should all fall into place. :)
