For my burrowers that need it moist, I don't mist but try to pour some water down the sides of the enclosure so that it filters through down to the bottom. If the water doesn't want to percolate down through, I'll carefully use the back of a small paint brush to make a few "channels" between the substrate and the side of the enclosure to give the water a path to travel down. This allows the lower levels to remain moist even if the upper levels dry out. It worked well when my Hapalopus sp. were quite small (I was very worried about them drying out). It's amazing how quickly the water from a misting dries up! Just something to think about before the next molt.Please keep up updated; I'm really hoping the little guy takes some food soon...</blockquote>
