Humidity question

[juliette.eliza]

Ok, yet another thing I'm not doing right...

How do I build a humid hide?

I recently purchased a water pump so I can keep the substrate moist, will that be enough? Or do I need something to mist more often?

What about the hide? How do I fix that?

You don't need a lot of humidity for an older one like yours. Offering a warm humid hide will be enough at this point, unless you are intending to build a giant closed chamber. Just flip an opaque plastic tub upside down after cutting out a door hole, and put it over damp substrate, near a heat source, in a warm section of the enclosure.

I use a plastic shoe box with a hole cut out. I leave it with the lid up so i can take the lid off to check the temp and moisture levels. This works great for hatchlings and juveniles but adults might need more space. I have an old and large Tupperware that i did the exact same thing to for the adults.

Here is my humid hide. It's a plastic tub with a hole cut out. It has damp substrate in and on top. It's under the basking light and a CHE at night. My leopard almost never uses it...so I go back and forth on keeping it set up then removing it..but this picture can you give you an idea.
