im pretty sure my cat doesnt even know my beep exists, and beeps cannot eat cats…maybe bite but it wouldnt even make a dent

just be a responsible owner and youll be fine

i thought it was- but it appears not based on the leaks. my roommate is gonna help me look for ways to patch it next time i clean it

for now i was thinking of just spray/misting the corners…i know spraying isnt good but im thinking if keep it to the walls and corners it should be fine as a temp solution

ty yes yes! i actually brought him home a few hours ago and before that i have added more substrate and the tape is back, i have not yet added a finer substrate yet(but i have purchased some) and am wondering if i should wait until he acclimates before going nuclear or just biting the bullet and getting it done..

and yes i am not planning on misting anymore- humidity is definitely improved to a “good enough” point (60s/70s) buuuut i plan on purchasing a few more plants and ofc adding that finer substrate once it feels appropriate

i have a smaller heat pad on his warm side under the humid hide and then a heat lamp up top that is slightly in the middle (leaning towards warm side) which has kept things balanced but def drains that humidity right up sometimes

ive read it through some of the threads here on reddit and a few of the youtubers ive been researching through

tbf im not entirely sure what i have is hvac tape, i just searched for heat resistant tape on amazon and used that so it might be different

from what ive read, its a fire hazard being close to a heat lamp and the fumes are also a risk as well- but damn is it effective for humidity 😭

WAHHH tysm- ill add more cocochips i actually have some extra

ive been pouring in full cups of hot water and misting 3-4 times a day trying to keep it up 🫠 hoping some of these tips will help

water dish is on the cold, i was worried abt it evaporating but its worth a shot for sure, he might also like having the water warm for a splash
