Message: <blockquote data-quote="kormath" data-source="post: 61856" data-attributes="member: 4199">I've never misted the brachys.  but their substrate was slightly moist, it's now bone dry with as dry as it's been here.  The hygrometer shows 18%.  I know that's way different than what will be inside the cages.  We got the hygrometer a year or 2 ago to help with my son's nosebleeds.  Found that anything below about 25% and his nose will start bleeding.  18 is the lowest i've seen it in a long time, so turning on the humidifier will help us, and shouldn't be bad for the T's either as they're in a different area of the house. The corner I misted lightly has drawn the vagans to it, either he's investigating or wanting that little bit of moisture.  I also misted the side of the boehmei's enclosure as he's just flipped over to molt.  A little extra humidity there should help.</blockquote>
