Pour water onto the substrate. As long as you don't have puddles forming, you'll be fine.Well I just misted the cage and the ground is damp but still I'm only pushing 75 on the hydrometer. The top of the cage is covered so air flow is limited but still only pushing 75. What can I do to raise the humidity and sustain it for at least a while?
It seems like that could be a fire hazard. My Humidity is always stuck at 70-75%. Its very ventilated on the sides and top of the tank. Should I try this wood idea?
True, i do have one of those horrible "all living things" hygrometer, but i still think it should give a semi good reading. None the less, I'll try covering up some of the holes, but with what? Plastic wrap seems like it would melt under my heat lamp. Also, i was thinking about getting one of those exo terra fog things, they look nifty, just the reviews arn't making me want to buy it. But i just need something to get the humidity to at least 80%.You all dont need to watch a hygrometer. As long as the substrate is moist then you have plenty of humidity
No you dont. I have been keeping scorps for several years now and I have never owned a hygrometer nor do I worry about what % my humidity is. Like I told you before, if your substrate is moist then your humidity is fine. Forget foggers, misters etc etc. Simply restrict the ventilation and use deep/moist (around 6 inches) substrate.But i just need something to get the humidity to at least 80%.
