Posted by: Carlton at Fri Apr 20 12:10:48 2007 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by Carlton ] Tanks are so hard to regulate because they don't tend to form microclimates...they are generally the same temp and humidity all over and can get too warm with even a small overhead basking bulb. How much foliage do you have in it? Live foliage really helps maintain humidity because the leave surfaces and pot soil hold water that evaporates more slowly, the cham can find droplets to drink over time, and the plants' respiration also cycles moisture. A dry house will be a constant problem. You'll need to humidify the air in some way regardless of the type of cage. You could set a room humidifier over the tank so the moisture flows across the top and sinks into it (air exchange is imporant too), or humidify the room. Cycle the humidifier on a multiple setting timer so there are drier and wetter cycles created throughout the day. | ||
