[QUOTE="Tortoise Tom, post: 134549, member: 27883"] My climate is also very dry like yours, usually single digit humidity outside and we don't get your summer monsoon rains either, and I've never misted the enclosures. I'd be leery of mold or mildew. When the bins start to get crowded, the roaches begin to generate a tremendous amount of their own humidity. If your flats are still in good shape after that length of time, I think you are fine, but keep an eye out for issues as your colony grows. I can smell that mildew smell a mile away now, and that's one way I know its time for a colony split and cleaning. [/QUOTE]
