Message: <blockquote data-quote="m0lsx" data-source="post: 207131" data-attributes="member: 29323">Think of humidity as a consequence, not something to achieve. My stirmi's & blondi's are on moist substrate & have larger than normal water dishes. The mixture of a large water dish & moist substrate is higher humidity. But that is a consequence of how I keep them & not why I use damp substrate & a larger water dish. Stirmi's & blondi's really need springtails in their substrate to stop mold. And if the substrate is not sufficiently moist for the springtails to thrive, then it is not sufficiently moist for your blondi / stirmi. Feed your springtails on dried yeast & they will provide a great service.</blockquote>
