The humidity in my RF's enclosure is usually around 50. I was told I need to get it up. Also I read the pyramiding thread that Madkins007 wrote. I think my tort was already slightly pyramided when we got him, it is not noticable, but I think it's there, because his shell feels bumpy in several places, I might just be paranoid. But I read that humidity is the key to preventing pyramiding, and even if it's not there I want to prevent it/ prevent it from becoming noticeable.
I recently started misting in his enclosure. That helped the first day, but today when I misted, his heating light went POP! because a little of the water got on it, and so we had to replace it. So, that isn't really working...
How do I get it up, should I keep misting only away from the lights, it only helps a little, like getting it up to 55 or 60. I know it needs to be higher. So, what should I do? I keep the lid on the top of the enclosure, it's one of those mesh-like things that are almost always on pet enclosures and aquariums. Do I need to cover half or something so less humidity exscapes?
Thanks!
