Tank size questions

Then what would be the best thing to do to regulate humidity till then...mist every few hours or get a misting systemSent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

It is not impossible to maintain humidity in a tank. I keep my only BP in a 40 gallon (I think?). I regulate humidity by keeping his water bowl full and covering the screen lid. The screen is covered in several layers of tin foil and tape (NEVER put tape inside the enclosure, this is just on the outside of his screen). It was so effective that I don't have to mist (apart from when he's in shed).

You can also get a coconut-based substrate like repti-chip or eco earth. They hold humidity well.

It IS POSSIBLE to maintain temps and humidity in a tank, but it is harder sometimes, and if you are okay with spending the money, I'd get a better enclosure.

Can you get someone to change the start of your thread ?

You start with its not possible but half way through say it is possible ..

I bought eco earth and the humidity is still staying around 50%

I put some tin foil on the top today and I'm going to go get some plexi glass to.orrow for the top

I'm going to get some black foam board tomorrow also cause I hear it helps hold in heat and humidity

Watch temps closely after covering the tank. Humidity should go up, but temps may as well. Keep a close eye for a few hours and check regularly for a few days at least before returning to checking 1X a day or so.

You do not want Lucy getting too hot.

If you are at 50% without covering the tank, you are in good shape, I think, for getting to proper humidity once the tank is covered. Nice work!

Apologies , I was aiming at 55fingers in his post #41

Viewing on TapaTalk his thread starts off with " it's not possible " but in the last paragraph it says " it is possible "

Actually if you look it says it is not impossible? I don't know why you're reading "not possible" when it actually says "not impossible", as in possible indeed.

It could just be tapatalk?

Ok here is some updated pictures of what I've done with the tank. Any other suggestions?

I honestly don’t know. It’s very difficult to get right in an aquarium. The first thing I would try would be misting down the substrate well and covering the top with foil or plastic.

I put up some other pictures up of the modifications I did on Lucy's cage. Would you take a look and make any other suggestions
