[QUOTE="octanejunkie, post: 189716, member: 3872"] Misting and spraying raises humidity excessively, but only temporarily, and can be handy when you have a T in its webbing who won't change me down to drink. Think of this like a brief summer rain. Overflowing the water dish to soak a portion of the substrate delivers more consistent and lower humidity over a longer period of time, and is more natural and appropriate for most species. It's usually recommended to allow the substrate to dry out before soaking it again to prevent molt and fungus grow growing. Some keepers omit overflowing the water dish in arid species enclosures. Best rule of thumb is to always provide a water dish with clean water. If your T fills it or knocks it over just clean and refill it. They know what they want and what they are doing. [/QUOTE]
