I have just found a GREAT solution to keep you from constantly misting! I am so excited to share it >
Aquarium Bubble Stone. They are originally for a fish tank but I put them in the water dish and it rises the humidity way up! You can get them at walmart for about 2 dollars. You will have to buy the clear tube and an air pump. I got all the stuff at walmart too(You can get them at a pet store, but it will be more expensive...). The air pump was the most expensive thing and I got the quieter one for $14. I got this whole set up for $18. I just got it today and my humidity is up at 90%! You will have to drill a small hole in the side to get the tube in.
Now since I just got this today, I haven't been able to experiment with it yet. Since the humidity is up pretty high, I am going to turn it off at night, then turn it on in the day to see if that works. Or I might just have to get this valve to control the air flow. But I think it would work really well no matter what substrate you have.
Right now I am really happy with it, but as I said I haven't had it set up long enough to run into many problems.
*I found this idea on a forum too..
