humidity

[deadhd5]

I have a Jackson's. Don't they need it higher? Could my humidity gauge be wrong? It just seems like an awful lot of water going in with no change.

Apologies, you are correct about Jacksons. I have one as well and aim for the 65-85% range.

One thing you can do is hook up a tube and pump that mist right into the cage. Many people who keep Jacksons do this.

Check out this video on Jackson care, it explains how to do what I mentioned above as well as other great tips.

I thought I saw a couple humidifiers running from the top of the cage. Anyone have any trouble with lights or anything on the top getting a little too damp?

The cold mist and tubing to the cage improved mine.

Movie.. How it works...

Do you do anything else for misting or does this do the job? How often do you run it?

Don't mean to high jack the thread but since it is about humidity I have a question. My rooms throughout my house stay about 30% right now even in my solarium where my kndoor pond is. will just watering the plants inside the screen enclosure bring it up enough? I plan on getting a panther in the coming month, once I can get everything set up right and clean u my dragon room a bit for the cages.

Works for me... Humidity around 70 and I have a dripper the whole day. Mist comes on about 3 times a day. Still working to see if she would need more.

A good misting system like MistKing or Aquazamp should be able to run frequently enough and for long enough to keep the humidity up.
Live plants do help, a dripper helps and plastic sheeting covering up to 3 sides helps.
Panthers don't require as much humidity as Jackson's chams do.

I have a crested, Sailfin or the other name trioceros cristatus. Required a lot of humidity and she likes the base and most humid part. The bottom and base of the plant somewhere around 70-90 at times. I don't have covers or plastic on the side but the plant those help.

I was thinking of going with a rain dome but wondering now if I should go with a mister instead. Of course I would assume they would both have same results on humidity.

It those the job for me... Don't want a wet Rain forest either. One side is humid and also heat. My girl likes the base like I said. Not much into the draining part, raised the cage about 3 inches and slide under a flip big bind plastic cover. Come home and just empty it. Not much work on that end
