Hello all,
I've been lurking on this site for a couple of months since I got my baby Sulcata Blue. I've decided to register and join the community. You've all helped me a lot so far - more than you know- so I'm hoping you guys can help me out again.
I've been trying to maintain the humidity in Blue's enclosure for quite sometime now, but I realize I need to invest in a humidifier. I've tried to spray the enclosure to keep the coir moist, but it only stays like that for a little while until it dries again. I'm worried he's not getting enough humidity in his hide, or if it's even humid in there. I've just purchased a hygrometer which I have to set up tonight.
I'm looking into buying a Crane humidifier on Amazon as I need something that's preferably under $50.
- Once I have the humidifier, how would I set it up? Would I attached a hose to any side of the enclosure and let it do it's thing? I've tried looking up videos on YouTube but I can't find anything.
- What should the humidity level be like in his enclosure?
- Do I need to close the top? I keep my tank open most of the time but when I spray it down, I put the cover back on. The cover slides on and off and has a screen so I don't think it works.
I appreciate everyone's responses. Also, if there's anything else I should be aware of, please let me know.
P.S.
Meet Blue
