Re: Building a humidifier

Beautiful snake! Ok sorry for being dismissive earlier, I just think before people say that 'snakes kill plants' there should be some other opinions here. I have live plants in all my enclosures, so far the only occupant who has killed any plants is the savannah monitor. Most of the time its the keeper not knowing enough about plants to keep it alive, rather than the reptile.

First, I need more information. Are those plants actually planted in the soil or are the pots just in the substrate? Do you have a UTH? Are there any windows anywhere nearby?

No worries. I want plants as long as I can keep them alive in there. I have a layer of EcoEarth on the bottom and then covered by a layer of reptibark. I kept the plants in their pot thingys because I may still decide to use hygroball and go that route. I do have a ZooMed UTH (the size for 10-20g)

There are 2 windows. One has that weird frosted glass, so not much light comes through at all, and the big one isn't facing the tank. Some of the light hits the tank, but it's not very direct. And my room doesn't get very much sunlight because it faces North.

Unfortunately, I'm sharing a master with another person so I don't have options for placement of the tank. This is an awesome master bedroom set up, but a horrible set up for 2 college students.
