Hello All,
I will be getting Ego my 3 month old Male Nosy Be tomorrow. I have had the cage set up for about a month now. I was having problems keeping my humidity above 50% so I bought an invisible cool mist humidifier. It solved my problem and I have been able to maintain about 52% going up to about 70% when I mist. My question: I have the humidifier sitting on the floor about 3-4 feet from cage and the cage is raised up off of the floor. The breeze created by the humidifier blows some of the leaves from my ficus around but I have moved the humidifier enough to where it just affects a small portion of the cage. Is this breeze going to pose any health issues to Ego? The reason I have it "aimed" at the cage is because it's in a large room.
Cage Info:
16X16X30 Screened Cage from LLL
Lighting - Power Sun Merc Vapor Bulb / 3 Incandescent Bulbs In a Hood
Temperature - Basking spot 82 (at the suggestion of Bruce the breeder), Cage Bottom 80 Lowest overnight temp 70/72. Basking spot measured with Zilla Digital Temp/Hygrometer Lower part of cage Zoo Med Dial Type Gauges
Humidity - 50% - 70% Measured in middle of cage with the Zilla and bottom back of cage with Zoo Med
Plants - Small Ficus
Placement - Cage is sitting on a 2.5 foot entertainment center stand
Location - Houston, Texas
Thank you.
