humidity

[Dirtydmc]

Thanks a lot for all your replies! I ended up getting the Zoo Med Repti Fogger and it's working great!

I need 4 of them. With waterfalls.
So far we've been misting. 4 or more times a day.

What are your setups like? I might be able to help with your humidity issues.

Tegu not included. Eco earth sub, glass tanks, fake plants, wood branch's, mesh tops, heat and uvb bulbs. Oh yeah, water dish's.

Our house is super dry. Almost zero humidity in here.

The glass tanks and mesh tops are your problem. I'm in Vegas and have really low humidity here too. Aluminum foil taped to the tops with only space open for the lights will help quite a bit. And if you use under tank heaters on any of the cages, put the water bowl over it.

My tegu tank has no issues. Cypress mulch is amazing.

I was thinking that. What about air flow? I know animals need good flow. We handle all of them daily. Minus the tokays.

thats exactly what i did with the aluminum foil. it works great, especially at night. i've just been turning the fogger off when lights go out and it stays at the same humidity level for like 12 hours, its amazing.
I have a glass terrarium with the mesh top btw.

On mine I left about an inch open on the opposite side of the light and it seemed to work ok.

What side are you guys putting the fogger at and also whats a good humid hide to make ive heard to many bad things about moss

 

[james.w]

Try the fogger in the middle and move it towards either end to get the humidity right. You can use moss, but shouldn't be needed if you have the fogger.
