Are you having shed problems, or trouble keeping humidity in your enclosures? Well at one point I was having humidity issues as well (even though I live on a very humid island). I was brainstorming one day & came up with a system that fixes low humidity & wanted to share it with all my fellow ball owners!
What I've done is come up with a pretty simple & cost efficient system (IMO).
WHAT YOU NEED:
· An aquarium air pump, depending on how many tanks you have you may want to get one with multiple air nozzles.
· Aquarium air hose.
· An airline connector kit (includes y-valves, air control valves & suction cups)
· Extra suction cups (if needed- figure two per enclosure)
· Bubble stones (enough for one per enclosure)
WHAT TO DO:
1. First I set up the air pump & made sure it was close enough to a plug.
2. Then I cut one main airline and put a y-valve(pink) at the end to make a two air line spit. One of the spits you make will lead into one enclosure, the other air line spit will be used to put another piece of air hose & y-valve(pink) on. For each individual tank line, cut a small piece of air hose that will connect your y-valve (pink) to your air control valve (purple) Repeat this until you have enough individual air lines for your tanks.
3. Next, I cut enough air hose to go into the enclosure, all the way down the sides then under the substrate & finally into the water dish. You may want to tape the line to the bottom of the tank just to make sure an active snake doesn't end up uprooting the line. It also helps to run the hose down the side & secure it with two suction cups circled in orange (one on top, one near the bottom)
4. Next, attach your bubble stone (lime green) at the end of your line & put it in your water bowl.
5. Finally, put a towel over your inclosure to keep in the humidity!
Hope this helps anyone having humidity issues! Blessed be!
