Misting is useless it is not enough water for too short a time. Clearly you know this already. I have made a suggestion why not try it out? It is safer than using stagnation to increase the humidy.

Perhaps you should read the sticky on RI you are walking down the 'petri dish' road.

I am willing to try many things that have been suggested. I just wanted to clarify, before I do something wrong. I am a new bp owner, and I will have many questions as I try to resolve issues that I have.

Regarding your suggestion, it's not a matter of not wanting to try it. I just wanted to have a series of things that I could attempt. Due to space availability in the house, laying the tank on its side isn't something that I can do right now. The tank sits on a stand that was build for it, and can only go on the one way. Once I am ready to upgrade his home, as he gets bigger, I will look into other options. For now, I have to make what I have work.
