[[email protected]]

i got a humidifier as a gift today and my tort really loves it!!!! its a repti fogger by zoo med and it keeps my humydity pefect dempending on the setting i have it on. anyone else use one of these? i love the way it looks as well as the performance and benifets to my table.
and on a side note, im not sure if my tort is pooping? i know the temps are right(at least for yesterday and today scince i moved the lights around) and the humidity has been great for the last 4 days. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT CAN CAUSE THIS. agian its just think shes not. i havent acually seen her poop in two days.but i did alot of mixing the substrate aroound and i could of missed and just blended it in. i will keep a close eye on her and let you know if this changes.

Poop- I can sometimes go a couple weeks without seeing any poop from my 4 young'uns.

Humidifier- I am a bit wary of ultrasonic humidifiers- they tend to drop the temps quite a bit- sometimes 20 degrees. There is also some concern that they interfere with the lungs in some way, although I have a hard time finding any hard evidence for this. When I use ultrasonics, I always aim the mist so it completely vaporizes before it gets too close to the tortoises.

i keep mine up aways from the bottom too. to help with the temp but i havnt had any problem with it so far but it has only been hooked up for half a day. and i dont run it very long.

sweet so not poopimg for two days isnt really a bad sign? thats a relief
