I attached mine to the wall, covered it with a sheet of polystyrene and put all my cages next to it,,,not against it though. If works well, the temperature remains very much constant at 22-23 DegC without losing humidity . I hardly ever mist as I add some vermiculite with my substrate for species that require higher humidity, otherwise just a water dish. Also refrain from using live plants...if you want to go the plant root for decorating use synthetic plants like the ones you would use in an aquarium.</p></blockquote><p></p>
