First let me start of by thanking Tom, Kelly, Neal, and Dean for posting their findings and helping so many of us here switch from the dry to the wet method. These threads definitely influenced so many of us.

Now a little history before I post her pics. She has been with me since July of this year. She was previously raised dry. That means dry substrate, no water dish, and no soakings. Ever since I acquired her I've been soaking her about 2-3 times a week, she goes outside all day, but is brought in at night into a closed chamber at no lower than 80% humidity, and has access to water 24/7.
She's gained 400 grams in the last 4 months and has grown an inch. She is now about 8"scl. These are the results. Although the pics don't do justice for how dramatic and smooth her new growth is.
