Re: Humidity Tweaking
**UPDATE** My husband helped me dump out about 98% of the real wet substrate. My girl is still in there and still fat after 4 days post feed, so we didn't want to move her. He also noticed that the drainage drip from my fogger was dripping directly onto my substrate, hence the soak. We rerouted it so that the drip now happens over the water source.
My setup is a 29 Gal tank with a cage/mesh top. The Large water source is on the left and it is actually a corner litter pan for a guinea pig. So it is BIG. I have a nice large flat aquarium rock in there to prevent downing. That's the left. The right side has a under tank heated mat attached to a setable thermostat. BRB temps range from 75 deg - 84 deg. I stay middle of the road at 80 deg. Humid hide is on this side as well. One of those rock hides for a gecko. I use Eco Earth loose coconut substrate because of the need for such high humidity. I also have ample amounts of the zoo med terrarium moss around the water source, the giant buddha head sculpture with holes, and surrounding the base of an aquarium wood looking tree log. I even have a teenie bit of sphagnum moss mixed in with the zoo med terrarium moss that I actually resoak every mmmm 4 days or so.
