No offense but, if they did not work, I would not have been able to raise up hundreds and hundreds of monitors with those lids.

I think the point is, there is a distance between fungus and mold and too dry. Its in this area you want your monitors to be.

As with so many things, It does not have to be one way or the opposite. Monitors do not like wet or dry, good thing theres a middle ground.

This goes for niles and waters, both use water, then quickly dry off. That is normal. Sleeping in water is no normal, but does not have to be really bad either, It could be to hot. They without question, use water to cool off. We see this daily now that its very very hot out.

I really do not know a good way to tell your what monitors are trying to do, other then, they do not want to lose water from drying out. Or gain water from overly wet substrate. They want to be neutral and obtain water from their food, and if they have to, from some drinking. Just not losing water thru the skin, thats dehydrating. Cheers
