You basically, inside of any enclosure, have dead air....no movement! Even if you have fans running around your enclosure air movement within will still be minimal. What I guess I'm saying is a little bit of moisture can go a long ways inside of a T Crib. How quickly does your water dish dry , how big is the water dish? These things need to be factored in for more moisture dependent species and the guy/gals you have don't really need excess humidity to thrive. It all boils down to if your T seems to like it. My T. Verdezi hangs around it's water dish but it's also where it's warmest. I don't think it's the humidity drawing her there so much as it's warmer at the front than the back. Most of my T's stay near the front because that is where the warmth is. Something to consider as well. The majority of T's love that warmth. As stated, if your T seems to like a bit of humidity a bit of overflow is good. You just have to be careful and not over do. It's a lot easier to add water to soil than to let it dry out. Relax and enjoy your spoods. The species you have are generally easy to care for and observe their behavior and you should be good. Happy Spoodering!</p></blockquote><p></p>
