I just felt like complaining about my current situation (waiting to have the spare cash to spend on a heating pad). Heh
So currently I have a screen topped tank that's mostly covered in tinfoil except for where I put the heat lamp. Now, with the lamp on.. I need to mist more than once daily.. to maintain decent humidity.. with the lamp off, it holds at 80% pretty easily.. (which made me understand how great a heat pad will be)
So I have to mist very often and very heavily.. I moved my emps log the other day (one of those half log hides) and took a peek at the little burrow he made. (another thing I have to do is add some more substrate.. he's got about 3 inches all around and I'd like to double it.. just haven't gotten around to it) but anywho... his burrow is half filled with water.. hehe.. Now I mist from the side completely away from his hide.. but I guess the moisture spread through the substrate pretty darn well.
I just thought it was neat that he has a little natural drinking area.. I had been wondering why he had stopped hanging out in his water dish!
the end
