[QUOTE="mrotsliah, post: 42632, member: 2892"] I have a sad update for my Avic Metallica; it passed away. ;_; I know that I had to keep the humidity around 70% to 80%, but during this winter, my house had a humidity around 20% to 30%. I poured water into the bottom of the tank (which ran out onto the floor and messed up the floor) and I misted the tank when I could. But with the house so dry, the mist wore off so fast. So I think the spider died from lack of humidity. I tried to close the tank up to keep in the humidity, but it didn't help. Strange, I just check the hygrometer right now and it says 81%, but of course the heat lamp has been off for over a week. Perhaps the heat lamp has caused a dryer tank. ?? Without the heat lamp, wouldn't the tank be too cold for the T? I keep my house around 65 degrees. I am wondering what people do during the winter when their house is so dry and you have a T that needs such high humidity. Thanks [/QUOTE]
