shedding problems! How do i increase humidity?

drykilllogic83 Feb 12, 2006 07:48 PM

My red tegu is in a two story cage and is having shedding problems due to low humidity. The top floor has a basking lamb and the bottom floor has a UV lamp. She sleep on the bottom floor so I believe this should be the floor with higher humidity (also I believe it would be easier). What method should I use to increase the humidity? Should I not worry about increasing the humidity for the entire bottom floor and just create a hide box with high humidity? thanks for your help

You can achieve this in different ways. Either via substrate, tight hiding places, or simply making sure the enclosure is enclosed (or a combo of them). If you have to much ventalation then the humidity will escape the cage and be low especially with a heat light zapping it out of the air.
