    Humidity

    My BP is currently in a shed. I am trying to keep humidity up to around 70%. However, it is fluctuating. When I mist of course it goes up & then when I leave or at night it creeps back down to 50%. Is this fluctuation OK for my BP?

    Re: Humidity

    try covering about 2 thirds of the tank, it should keep the humidity up. you should try and keep it at a steady humidity of about 70.

    If you have a tank with a screen you should have most of the top covered with tape a foil to keep humidity in. Towels and other cloth does not cut it. You can also use terrarium moss but you should have most of the tank enclosed.

    I have been having great success with a small dish of moss kept in the hide during shed. Solid one piece sheds every time.

    You could always try moving the water dish over the UTH, at least part way, for the nights.
