High temps and humidity

[Phlo1]

I have been keeping my room at 82 F and been misting the enclosures daily so they have ample amounts of water. I feel like they have been thriving in the sense that they are eating more regularly. Does anyone else keep their Ts in a room with a temp around the 80s?

The reason your misting daily is your temperature. Basically wasting your time and energy misting. Water so your bottom layer of substrate is moist...not the top. This will create a constant even humidity in the enclosure. If you run a humidifier in your room your soil will maintain moisture longer and you won't have to spray. I have over 200 enclosures and only water once a week @75-77 degrees room humidity is 50%

Oh nice nice. You're gonna laugh at the reason I mist mostlt daily. My Ts have made their water cap a part of their webbing or have buried it. So I aim at the leaves when I spray/ to give them water lol. The bottom 1/3 of substrate is fairly moist still. I will top off the substrate with water in 1 corner once a week. I suppose not having a proper water cup is controversial also

I just add a second water cup. My OBT has webbed up 3 of them.

I just soak a corner of the OBTs enclosures. They will web everything over if given the chance.
