Reptile & Amphibian Forums

As I have been reading the archived and old files on this particular forum I have noticed that the issue of humidity is a very large one (understandably so). I noticed that noone, however, mentions a drip system (similar to those used in chameleon cages) at any point in the forum (that I have seen). Would this be an advisable solution to the question of humidity? Thanks in advance!

What types of cages do you all use (specifically the dimensions)? I have made a large cage for a red-tail before so I am planning on making my own. Just curious, thanks!

you really should go to http://www.chondroweb.com
all of your questions can be read there, drip systems may be fine but wouldnt help with relative humidity, we spray alot-lol. and as far as caging check out greg amxwells site he saus it all, as it would take alot of time to give you plans on here-d

Been there actually and scanned that site top to bottom, didn't see anything on it about drip systems. Great site though! Also ordering his book, I can't wait! I've heard so much great stuff about it! Anyway, I appreciate the reply!

Actually that was kind of my point, its no where, because its not needed. Believe me its been discussed, and the final conclusion, is that its not that hard to keep a humid enclosure, as long as you use the right substrate, and enclosure type, with just a simple misting a day you can get the humidty up high and through out the day it will naturally lower down , so you are cycling the humidity as it would be in their native environment, plus the benifits of no neglecting the animal, as it forces you to obsere the animals while you are doing it, maybe you missed some poo, or the bowl is soiled, and so on. There are many tricks to owning these animals, but in general what you need to succesfully keep these animals can be found on said website and in said book. good luck, read up-d
