[QUOTE="Tomb Spider, post: 221475, member: 39782"] I'm just a bloody beginner, so my expertise isn't great, but what I heard and then tested is a layer of seramis (in other parts of the world it might be called different. alternatively use expanded clay or similar stuff) under the substrate, which is then watered It helped a lot to get the humidity a lot higher and also drains the substrate. humidifiers make a lot of work (cleaning, filling) and does not help much, keeping it on a constant level. and if its not cleaned regularly there might be harmful bacteria to the spider. I guess that it only is useful for species like rainforest frogs which need almost 100% saturated air (occasionally?). maybe for very hot days, but not for constant use I would say. [/QUOTE]
