Humidity Issue

[monster]

Do you use the Reptifogger Thevacant face? Im just asking cause I have heard different reviews about them, and I don't mind misting but if these work good I would rather have one of these?

Yes, I use a reptifogger, I actually have it tied into three tanks, and it keeps things humid. I do have a bit of an issue with water condensating in the line and then pooling at whatever the low spot is, but if properly set up there shouldn't be an issue. Other than that all I can say is that it will scale up and stop working within a couple days if you use anything other than distilled water.

I think im going to get one. And I may try to do the same thing as you and make it run into 2 tanks.

I picked up 3/4" beverage line and nylon couples from a home improvement store to make my connections. I would recommend slanting the lines and having a drain at the end to recapture the condensate, the one frog at the end of the line ended up pretty soggy there at first.

I have bought some moss to add to the tank as well and I also am using a 75 watt blue bulb in the day and a 60 watt red light at night. I don't know the exact name but they are zoomed. I also keep a pool of water for him s if the humidity does go out he will get in the water right and soak? I have noticed dirt in the water in the mornings when I go to feed him so I am sure he has jumped in.

If you feed him in the enclosure, get rid of the moss, too much of an impaction risk. They will climb into their water bowls if they feel dry, but not always, they don't have the same level of logical thought as a person or even most mammals. If the dirt and air are too dry, he may figure its time to estivate, and start that process which isn't good for them. Ceramic heat emitters seem to not dry the place out quite as fast as other bulbs.

Thanks for the info on the reptifogger, im going to get one next pay.
