just moved to Colorado USA and it is a much drier climate than we are ALL used to. I have Mortimer (Formerly Princess Leia, as he showed me his equipment after being called princess for a few months) I digress.... I have him in a 8 x 2 tank with an open top and I know the concern with vivs and stuff, but the humidity in his tank is almost nothing and I have 3 hydrometers of different brands at each end and the middle. There are two 4foot Reptilights in top and a red light on one end with basking rocks that get up to 32ish a hide under a ceramic bulb that gets to 25ish, a hide where the ambient temp of the house of about 21ish (i am trying to convert from Fahrenheit) He is able to move length- wise through the tank to get from hottest to coolest. He also is on artificial grass in part of his tank, slate and rock over the rest and he has a cat litter box full of dirt that is set up with ramps so he climbs over it several times daily and it has a small hide there too. should I be adding moister to the environment around him? like a humidifier for the room he is in? Can I add moisture to the dirt to up the humidity in just that area? I will post a picture of the set up a little later so it is easier to picture.
Thanks again!
Also we are over wintering this year as he was a little underweight (after his de-worming as I just got him at the end of March) and we just spent the last 2 months moving half way across the country, and he was in a smaller enclosure for a while and all the stress, I hope to get him ready for hibernation next year as he is already bouncing back and eating well and gaining weight. ......Don't you just love run on sentences:)
