Because we all have "those" batches where it was WAY too much water and you got steamed glass doors for days haha.
Yes, especially in the racks that have tubs with no extra air holes. Whew..steam bath time !! ;)

He used to sit on top of his hide waiting for cleaning anytime he wet the substrate; but now I guess it doesn't feel damp to him anymore, so he couldn't be bothered to take it outside.
Sorry, but that is kind of funny...
That is like my horse. It never fails, if I put a nice layer of wood shavings in her stall, she just pees and poops in it.
If there are no shavings inside, she just goes outside. Go figure ;)

Zina and Sallos I appreciate all the feedback on your use of Herptopia. I was thinking about making the change to it now that I've gotten my permanent PVC enclosures and your experience with the product is very helpful. Thank you.
