Can I use a humidifier in a room with T's. Its very cold and dry where I live and they dryness is cause my girlfriend and I difficulty sleeping. We share our bedroom with our T's.
Thats not cheap. Thats 'frugal'. Both good ways to boost humidity without buying another machine. Can hang-dry some laundry indoors too, and let the machine-dryer rest a bit.Guess I'm cheap -- I just keep an open container of water in the room -- for the parrots but it benefits the Ts too. I change it out weekly and am amazed at how low the water level is when I change it out. I've been known to hang something damp in there to dry also just for the moisture added.
In the summer, I can skip open water container in their room -- air is plenty humid in NC with a/c vent closed in their room.
Don't know if it counts, but I keep the central a/c-heat system fan "on" instead of "auto" as I feel like I need some air circulating too.I also keep a fan going in my room to circulate the air.
I recall hearing about the contents of perfume and cologone....it may smell nice, but its essentially toxic.Don't know if it counts, but I keep the central a/c-heat system fan "on" instead of "auto" as I feel like I need some air circulating too.
As long as you aren't use chemicals/sprays in the house, this may work for others too.
If you're using a lot of perfumed air sprays, heavy detergents, cleaning gear, etc.., this may be bad idea to circulate it to the T room.
(Actually -- just stop using that chemical junk -- not good for people either!)
I keep my room temps at 78-80 during the day, 70-74 at night. Its the best i can do, and has worked for years. I just make sure I create an appropriate micro climate per enclosure and all will be fine.I also do not use one and my T's have been fine for years now. The only thing I have to really worry about is winter time but luckily, where I live, is pretty good.
The winters by me are very dry, up until recently I haven't been using a humidifier but my new place has a furnace that really dries out the air so I added a humidifier and bucket to mitigate that. They certainly aren't nessisary in your region and once winter is gone I will probably stop using the humidifier.I also do not use one and my T's have been fine for years now.

True, everyone's got different circumstancesThe winters by me are very dry, up until recently I haven't been using a humidifier but my new place has a furnace that really dries out the air so I added a humidifier and bucket to mitigate that.

This is a very important thing to keep in mind when people go looking for care sheets. I care for some of my spiders a little different than lets say, someone in Florida, as the climates makes a difference even in a house that is temperature controlled.True, everyone's got different circumstances
