Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

How to keep up humidity?
Alright so as you might now I'm getting a few ATB babies. they're coming in tomorrow. I'm keeping them in an exoterra glass terrarium 12x12x18 tall but will soon be moved to 18x18x24 once we get them in stock in a few days. I got some plexi glass cut to cover the screen top to help keep humidity in but I'll mist the tank and it'll jump to 70-80% and then within like 3 hours or more it drops to about 60%. So basically overnight it's going to drop below 60% probably and i'm wondering what I can do to keep it up higher. Right now I'm heating the tank with a 50W infrared bulb that keeps the tank between 78 in a few cool spots to about 85-90 in the hot spots. Any ideas? Thanks.
Zack

Some breeders keep their neonates in jars with water in the bottom (and a perch). Can you do something similar and put a "cobra" heat pad under an adequately sized pan with water to increase evaporation? Just a thought.

Well once I get this bigger cave I'm probably going to switch to using a 50 watt daylight bulb during the day and a exo terra heat pad at night. I'm thinking the heat pad will slow down the drying up since there won't be light on the moisture? Maybe? I have a small one now but since I'm exchanging this tank for the bigger one I don't wanna stick the pad to it cuz I don't think it comdes off.

OH and I was thinking maybe once I get the bigger tank it'll be harder for the lamp to dry it up as fast since there will be more space and it's more of spot lamp. Ya think?

I guess the best thing will be to buy an hygrometer. You have some inexpensive one's at WalMart, that will minimize the guesswork.

I have a hygrometer already, and I just ordered a digital zilla one that keeps track of temp and humidity, so we'll see what it gets to at night.
