Daisy's humidity in the Habitate does fluctuate from 72 to 86. And it is different in the other areas some. I do take a water can and heavily water some areas. I will fluff areas from when she packs substrate down. Keeping it damp but not soggy. House is always warm. It's not consistent.... What problems do u see for Daisy as a result of this open air enclosure?

She has some pyramiding. (Which means not enough humidity )
yes she does. Ill see if I can find a Picture when I first bought her. I think thats why I got her so cheap. I liked her anyway. I think she looks better on the Pyramiding now then when I first recieved her. I am watching her shell closely. Taking almost daily pictures and hoping I am right that it seems to be improving. I dont know...... I will send before and after pictures tonight or sooner if able

Daisy's beautiful. Even with her war injurys. It's great that she's with someone that is trying to help that. You'll succeed in at least stopping it right now but then as years go on, improving it. Sapphire took a long time. When I got him he had holes on the top of his shell. Over the years they've filled in and closed. Happy Mother's day 🤗

Thank u for the encouragement. Has time goes by I will improve on the Habitate. I'm lucky on then humidity per say it could be better. Heat could b better too really. My husband likes the Habitate too and I guess doesn't mind the heat bill for her. But efficiency is my plan. Fresh air, exercise and good food.
I know I'm different then the norm and if I see a turn for.the worse I will change up things.quickly
