    Exclamation 6am quick answer

    Alright iv been spending money like crazy and putting so much effort into my BPs housing and i got it perfect. He just ate today after not eating for a while once i followed the advise from this site.
    Im leaving for 10 days and wont be able to mist his tank down. Hes not shedding right now so would it be ok if his humidity was down for that long or should i provide some sort of moist hide. I really hope someone can answer this before i leave at 6am tomorrow.
    after this is answered ill be able to leave you all alone for a while i hope.

    He should be fine...maybe consider switching to a larger water dish before you leave. This will help with humidity a little but also assure you that he will not run out of water while you are away (assuming there will be noone checking in on him) Have fun on your trip.

    He'll be fine. A larger water dish, or a second water dish may be a good idea as long as that doesn't introduce a new problem (like an unstable dish that tips over while you are gone). If your set-up is perfect, I'd leave it alone and have a nice trip.

    Like everyone has said, it shouldn't be a problem, but if you want for some peace of mind you can add water dishes/get a bigger dish, or you can cover the top of his enclosure (if he's in a tank) and leave parts open for ventilation. This should help keep the humidity in as well.

    Have a nice trip!
