hi everyone, we've moved house today and we have changed my torts substrate to the zoomed coconut fiber (from the bricks), but made the mistake of not preparing it sooner. we've tried to let it dry out as much as possible but it's still really damp and the glass doors of our vivarium are getting condensation on no matter how much we wipe it - we also need to order a new hygrometer so i'm not too sure what the levels are in there. we're thinking of letting the substrate dry out a bit over night and leave the heat lamp on to hopefully help this - would my tink be okay in a box with some hay (just this once) overnight? the temperatures will be regulated and stay at what they would be in the tank anyway for him. any advice for getting the substrate to dry out would be great, i know all of this happened because of my mistake but it definitely won't be happening again! and if anyone thinks this whole thought is a bad idea please let me know - thank you.
