humidity

[missdragonxo]

having a hard time keeping the humidity up in my gargoyles cage. its glass with a screen top. i spray and spray but not to long later its all gone. any ideas?

Do you have a humidity gauge?

Just spray it 2-3 times a day and it will be fine.

It should be allowed to try out in between spraying.

Also, with all fake plants, the humidity just won't stick very well. I set up an all natural viv a day or so ago and the humidity is great.

yeah i have a gauge and it doesn't move from desert. maybe a fogger will help?

 

[Pepper]

You don't need a fogger, just cover up half of the screen.

What is your substrate?

bed-a-beast.

Well then keep that pretty moist and it will raise your humidity.

Cover half of the screen with something like, saran wrap or tinfoil, unless you can get a small piece of plexi glass or something like that.

And just spray a few times a day, most important times are right before lights go off, and when lights go on.

You could also put a shallow water dish in the viv.

 

[Pepper]

If you don't have one, put one in there, not only for humidity, but they do drink out of them.

I've seen my Crestie do it.

i have a water dish in there. i was at wal-mart today and i found a garden sprayer, the type you pump and spray, for only 5 bucks. its keeping the humidity up longer now.
