G Pulchra 1.25" Sling - one water dish (gatorade cap) with overflowing, or two?

[poodude289]

Humidity in the house currently is around 40-50%, is one overflowing water dish (gatorade cap) enough for my 1.25" G. Pulchra, or should I add another in a second corner?

One will be fine.

 

[poodude289]

One will be fine.

Even if its just a small gatorade cap?

 

[poodude289]

I only ask because it never seems to evaporate out of it.

 

[poodude289]

That means less humidity is being created does it not?

 

[poodude289]

I feel like it's exhibiting weird behavior and I'm just concerned lmao

 

[Ratmosphere]

I mean what's it doing? G. pulchra's don't do much.

Look into this style cap if you are concerned about the Gatorade cap being too shallow. You want to overflow it into the substrate while keeping it full. I use these for all of my larger slings.

And the water should evaporate from the water dish in around a week, you will see the level go down. Seriously, you need to not overthink this.

Pulchra’s like it on the dry side anyway. Overflow it like the pic I sent in the other thread and you’re good.

I know they like it on the dry side, it's just the fact it's a sling still and I don't want it to die from dessication.

It won’t, you got this.

There's constant AC in my house during summer and it makes me worry lmao

 

[Ratmosphere]

What are the temps?

 

[poodude289]

What are the temps?

25 celcius

 

[poodude289]

I've accidentally let it get to 27 before but that's because I keep obsessing about my vent being open too much and reduce it

 

[poodude289]

I know AC itself reduces humidity in the air and that's my biggest concern

 

[Ratmosphere]

If it makes you feel better, my house is 73 F with the AC on and two dehumidifiers running downstairs.

I have many moisture dependent species in my collection and I have no issues.

Just overflow like the pic, sit back and relax.
