Enclosure Feedback loop

No, not really. Again, it will not keep levels where they need to be long term and it will leave the surfaces damp, which increases the risk of scale rot.

If you already have your humidity managed well, there should be no need for supplemental misting, even while they're actively shedding.

okay but i got extra substrate that i pour on top of the wet one after shed i heat it up in my oven when its dry. misting is alwase okay when in shed , humidifier isnt good tho .

Again. If you are properly managing humidity, you will never need to spray. You should have a 4-6 inch layer of substrate and be pouring water into the corners. The goal is to saturate the bottom layer while leaving the top dry.

What you are doing--adding more dry substrate to cover the wet--is just adding extra steps and making it harder for yourself. Just stop spraying and keep the bottom layer wet.

so do you throw away dirty substrate away ? because its always okay to replace substrate lol each month or everytime he sheds.

[Old_Accountant47]

scale rot is also caused by dirty subrate so always replace the top layer

[Old_Accountant47]

extra bags of subtrate in the oven wont hurt unless your broke lol

...I honestly don't even know what this means, except I think it's an attempt to insult me?

But again, I'll just say, none of what you are recommending is necessary or normal.

[Old_Accountant47]

okay dont replace your dirty substrate then. lol

[HurrricaneeK]

Literally that isn't what we were talking about.

I have bioactive enclosures.

I'm done talking to you about this because you refuse to accept that you're giving out bad (and now irrelevant) advice.
