I have read a lot about humid hide boxes, but can't seem to find any specifics on how to heat them so they stay humid. I am transitioning my 3 leos from 10 gallon aquariums (which have been kept humid) to a new tort table that I have been building.
I have two rubbermaid hides that I plan on using. I also have a misting system that I bought from big apple herp. So I've got the hide and the water, but I now need the heat.
I have yet to experiment with them, because I wanted to hear some of your thoughts from your experience. I am slightly afraid that putting a heating element too close to the container will melt it.
Equipment I already have. 2 ceramic heating elements (100 and 160 Watt), several heat lights, 2 Megaray 160 watts (I plan on using these for basking).
I would like to use the 2 ceramic heaters, but again...not sure if they will melt the rubbermaids or heat them enough where they may release fumes or toxins from the plastic.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
