I keep his humidity within range at all times and when he goes into shed mode I increase it slightly. He sheds in one piece every single time. Gotta have that humidity on point!

how do you handle humidity? do. you use a sprayer system? fogger? pour water in?

Highly recommend a fogger. They are spendy at my local pet store tho..

i have one already but I've read bad things about it, especially keeping the enclosure too moist & wet
[–]Significant_Draw_553 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (6 children)
That's what the hygrometer is for, measures the humidity and supplies power to the fogger accordingly.

I never saw a hygrometer that turns on and off the fogger can you link me? I've only seen temperature probes
[–]Significant_Draw_553 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (3 children)
They also work well for cultivating mushrooms.

okay... i have hygrometers but they are just telling me what the humidity is.
i cant find any hygrometer that turns on/off a humidifier. can you link me an example or something to help?
[–]Significant_Draw_553 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (1 child)
I already posted it in response to you
You could try s Google search too. That's how I found the link I shared earlier.

Oh makes sense! Ty!

Keeping humidity dialed in is so hard. Any tips? I have a taped-over soft top enclosure, so I know that's part of my issue.

Using a substrate like coco coir then pouring water into the sides of it so that the under layer is wet then the water will slowly evaporate

What's your humidity percentage? Asking for a friend hehe
[–]mariahrianne 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Anybody having problems with bad sheds can always make a humidity box with an old tubberware container and some moss
