    Coconut Husk...questions

    Okay so I switched over to coconut husk because i was having problems keeping my humidity up. I got a brick of the compacted stuff and followed the instructions to make it into a substrate. I wrung out the excess water and then let it dry with a heat fan on it for about 4 hrs. Then I took it inside and let it dry another 5 hrs with the heat fan. I put it in the tank and Im not having any problems with humidity its just that the water evaporating is condensating on the inside of my bp's hide. Shes in shed so I dont want to constantly disturb her by taking it out and drying it off. Do you think its bad for her?

    I have to agree, since she is in shed it will do alot more good than harm!
