[QUOTE="Tomoran, post: 65997, member: 1152"] Like the others, I really don't worry about it much at all. I definitely don't try to measure it in individual enclosures, For species that need it a bit moister ([I]T. stirmi[/I], [I]O. violaceopes[/I], [I]H. lividum, [/I]etc.) I give them deep, moist substrate with plenty of cross ventilation and large water dishes. If packed down well enough, the bottom levels of substrate hold moisture and, as it slowly evaporates, it naturally raises the humidity inside the enclosure a bit. In the winter when my heat turns on, it can really suck the moisture out the air, so I run a humidifier in the room just keep it from getting too dry. [/QUOTE]
