Re: Purchasing Adult Male Biak GTP have some questions

THe humidity needs to vary during the day, i spray mine to 80% in the morning and early evening, in between it drops to no less that 55-60%. With a mesh top there is no way that you will be able to hold the humidity levels high enough in my opinion, i have mine in a solid wood vivarium with small vents and one day we didnt quite shut the door (it was open less than a millimeter) and the humidity dropped like a stone.

I use reptibark, it keeps the humidity fine, never tried coconut husk.

I'm kind of disappointed in myself. I still have not gotten that book.

Coco Husk Absorbs Water Like you wouldnt believe, for higher humidity i mix it with moss, The Mesh Top has had 3 of the four panels sealed with plexi, the heating element replaced the fourth, since i do however still have many places for the humidity to escape, I am Going to Add a Humidifier, that will run on a low setting keeping it no lower than 60, With a monsoon that i will be purchasing set to sprinkle twice a day

That should replicate an ideal environment nicely, If Problems are still had, ill just go buy a few sheets of birch plywood and build a new cage

Thank You Again for all your advice, Hopefully he likes sweethart, and i can get some nice carpondros next season
