Hi, I'm new here and from Orem UT. My wife and I bought a baby cherry head about a week ago. His name is Tank and he is about 3 months old. I purchased him from tortstork. Just posting to say hi and have a quick question.
I built an enclosure that is 2X4. It is enclosed(I'll attach pics). I cant seem to maintain a humidity over 65-68%. After I mist it down it will stay 75-85% for about 30min and go back down to 62-68%. Is there anything anyone recommends to be able to keep it higher?
I've done a few things to try to improve it. I blocked out the air vents with plastic wrap to see if it helps moisture not escape. It had minimal effect. I have a 60w che on the right side and a 100w in the left. I took out the 100w (since it made it too hot and it made the humidity go down a lot faster), I havent replaced it with another 60w but plan to. I've moistened the substrate down to the bottom (about 2-3in).
The next thing I plan on doing is buying a mister or a fogger, but wanted to see what others may recommend. Thanks!
