Humid Hide?
Hello, everyone!
So, I currently use newspaper as substrate in my BP's enclosure, but I want to make a humid hide for him to go in if he pleases. I've heard mulch is a good thing to use to up the humidity. I will probably be using a tupperware or similar container with an entrance cut into it, so that I can easily remove the lid to change the substrate inside of it. Anyway, I have three questions:
1. When purchasing mulch are there any special considerations? For example, toxicity, dyes, etc. (I know that cedar is unacceptable bedding.)
2. Is mulch the best option? I need something that is inexpensive and efficient to help keep humidity in a small hide. Is there something better than mulch?
3. How often does the substrate of a humid hide need to be changed? How often does it need to be re-moistened, if at all?
Thank you so much!
