This thread is a terrible thing for me to look at, I'm getting so tempted to get more babies!
Seriously though, after reading this thread and browsing the original Sulcata version I've had an idea about the humidity that I'd like to get everyone's feedback on. Octavia and Mr.T are currently indoor torts so I've been contemplating how to keep them humid during the day while we're away. I've seen a device online made by Zoomed that has a humidity sensor used to activate a reptile fogger to maintain a constant humidity level set by the user (it can also be used to control a heat lamp at the same time). We already have them on an MVB lamp during the day, but I'm thinking about hooking up a fogger to run 24 hours as needed (controlled by the device) and maybe a night time heat bulb (also remote controlled by the sensor) to prevent too much evaporative cooling at night from the fogger.
Does this sound like a good idea? Any issues or drawbacks people can foresee? We have refrigerated air at the moment, which is great for the insane heat, but a bit drying for the babies.
Cheers,
