And if you do use an aquarium with a screen top, which I happen to do, I cover 80-85% of it and it keeps my humidity above 80% all the time. I can control the humidity easily by uncovering more/less according to the humidity guage if needed. I also mist the cypress mulch once a day, and there is a very large water bowl always at least 1/2 full, for my brb to soak in and drink from but not so deep she cannot keep her head above the water level without effort. I change the water out every other day or so. As Cliff said, they do not need heat bulbs, they usually hide all day anyway and come out at night. I have a moonglo bulb which I sometimes put on at nighttime if I am in the bedroom and want to watch her moving around after dark.
Hi Cliff!!! :) |

More space is always a nice thing to offer a pet, Alex. I use 4x2x1s for all my adults. Humidity management is much the same as with a smaller viv: it's all about limiting air exchange with the outside environment, while ensuring tyou have multiple sources of water for evaporation inside the viv. Classic strategies include a large flat water bowl, partly placed over the heat; a moisture-retaining substrate; and a moist moss hide. Classic mistakes to avoid include screen tops and heat bulbs. Good luck! |
