Ok, so I had a water bottle that I was using to mist Karina's enclosure; however my dog decided that taking it off the shelf and chewing it up was a better use for it. So, I can't get another bottle until Wednesday at the earliest, and she does have a water dish in her tank....will she drink out of the water dish if she has no other option or do I need to be worried that she will get dehydrated?

I do have the top part of my lid 3/4 covered with plastic wrap, but I don't have any condensation in there. I could move her to the bathroom, have a shower and leave her in there....not sure if it would get to warm though? Would she avoid the water dish even if she was thirsty?

If your gonna create condesation the top has to be completely covered.If I remember correctly you have an Exo-Terra? Cover the top completely, and the doors should leave enough ventilation. Not a big deal though, if you want to wait til wednesday.

Yeah I do have an Exo-Terra (she just stays on the front door), so I'll cover the top and get some condensation going (must have read it wrong, long day and my eyes are tired) :) Thanks for the advice!
