"Your(all or most of us) normal response is to give it water, which unfortunately is a bandage fix. It temporarily controls the problem without fixing it. Drying air is the problem that can be fixed. "

Isn't "fixing" the drying air a bandage fix as well? After all any husbandry that we provide is purely artificial.

If understand your logic, any thing that we do in captivity is temporarily controlling the problem without fixing it. The only real "fix" to any husbandry issue is to put them back in their native habitat to remove any bandage fix.
