[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 224583, member: 29323"] How do you know what the humidity is? Are you using something that gives a reliable reading or something aimed at the hobby? I had several of those hobby thermometers & hygrometers. I placed them in my lounge & every one of them had a different reading. They are totally unreliable. Money spent on things like hygrometers, is money wasted. What is the humidity level in your home & your local environment? My weather station says it's 73% outdoors & 63% indoors. And I just switched my dehumidifier on & that says it's 68% indoors. :rolleyes: Concentrate on the substrate. Get that right & the environment will be right. 60 to 70% humidity sounds fine. Looking at my local (BBC) weather report, that says my current outdoor humidity is 67% & here in the UK, that is around average. So even without substrate, water bowl etc. My humidity is always going to be around that 60 - 70% that you are seeing & my T's do fine. [/QUOTE]
