Re: Wet Towel Method?
I found a guy who can cut the holes in plexi-glass for me. Yay!
Now, how thick should this plexi-glass be? He is suggesting using a sheet 1/8th in thickness. Will that be thick enough for humidity preservation AND preventing heat loss?
<><Peace

Yes, it will work no matter the thickness, the only reason to go thicker is to make it stronger to avoid it breaking but if I remember right, I used 1/8" and it lasted years so you should be fine, just don't set anything heavy on it lol.

Re: Wet Towel Method?
I actually use straw huts originally designed for rodents in addition to my stone hides. I spraw them down well every couple days and it keeps my humidity right around 68.

That's a good idea but keep an eye on that thing, inside and out, for mold. Not everything can stay humid without starting to mold. I had that issue with aspen and that's why I switched to reptichip. But if it doesn't mold then I'd say it's a pretty good idea for a humid hide.

Yup I've been doing a thorough check every time I handle my babies. So far no mold or rot issues been running the same huts for 3 months now. I'm prepared to toss them at first sign of rot. For only 7 dollars a piece it wasn't that pricey to stock up on backups of them.
