Thank you guys in advance for all the help!

Brandon.

I have not found anything saying anything in the philodendron family is of any harm there are hundreds of types. They contain toxins that can be bad if eaten in large quantity but so do pathos. Anyone have any thougts?
web search results
pathos
The plant is listed as "toxic to cats, toxic to dogs" by the ASPCA, because of the presence of insoluble raphides. Care should be taken to ensure the plant is not consumed by house pets or children. Symptoms may include oral irritation, vomiting, and difficulty swallowing.[4]

philodendron
aroid toxins, including calcium oxalate needles and perhaps proteins or amino acids, are responsible for toxicosis. Toxic parts: all parts of the philodendron plant are toxic Leaves and stems are dangerous when eaten in quantity.

Ive sprayed the cage today numerous times and I cant get the humidty above 70% is that okay and the temp is at 21 degrees, I was thinking of draping a damp towel over the mesh and seeing if i will hold the humidity in better? Warm water or cold?

These are super cool. I don't know if I'll make it the rest of the year without getting one. I always like to see these guys.
