New terrarium argument

[J Teezy]

How moist the substrate is has nothing to do really with the RETF, the overall humidity in the enclosure and a water dish is where the little guy will get his hydration. One of my Red Eyes I have never even seen on the substrate, the other I have only seen on it a few times. Do you have a hygrometer? I did not see one in the picture. If you do not have a Hygrometer I would recommend getting one very quickly to ensure that the humidity is where it needs to be. Make sure that when you fill the water bowl you fill it with dechlorinated water.

but it will effect the humidity. Moist substrate will contribute to higher humidity than a dry substrate. So if you're substrate is very very damp, its going to raise your humidity level

Sorry, I should have elaborated more.

Just do not over saturate the substrate or you will have a swamp. If the humidity is down and the substrate is really moist then you might want to look for other ways to keep the humidity up.
