Humidity issues in planted viv
I've currently set up 2 planted vivs for some snakes I have on order. I'm getting in Asian Vine snakes and Paradise Flying snakes. They will be arriving late july to early Aug. The terrariums are set up similarly that they both have 2 pathos and a kroton in each, with different types of fake plants as well. The snakes have a humidity requirment of 70-80%. Im misting the plants daily to get them established and full before the snakes arrive. The terrariums I'm using are front opening exoterra with screen tops. I have half of the tops sealed off to hold as much humidity as possible. My humidity averages 50% but drops as low as 25%.
To help increase the humidity levels I'm planning on adding waterfalls to them. I'm thinking I will put 2-3" of hygroballs in the bottom then some type of mesh material (forget the exact name/brand) then substrate over that. This should increase the humidity more I'm just not sure how much.
I'm wondering form others who keep these types of snakes or others with similar humidity requirments if this will be enough to get the humidity where it needs to be or if there any other tips or techniques that could be applied to get me where I need to be.
