[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 130379, member: 26980"] Flexible plastic sheeting like for binders and paper locks the humidity into a cage very efficiently. The biggest thing is that once in a while they fall off the top or fall into the enclosure if you put them in the underside, nothing a wee bit of electrical tape won't fix. I've got a vacant enclosure 12x24x6. The problem with that is that it was originally for 22 scorplings living communally. If the stirmi flips on its back to molt, the molted skin will impact the roof and may halt the process. One thing I can do as an option is to make a very small air scoop just like the ram air on a Camaro, one it at the wall and soon a fan at the wall. This produces a wonderful gentle ventilation that makes the air inside smell fresh even after a week. It was one of my experiments. In any event I can control the humidity and temp to less then a 10 percent deviation within any enclosure possible. It'll aggravate everyone, doubly so because it works. It works be nice to recycle it but not really the right thing to do. It would be great if small sling enclosures can be made to fit, instant heat cabinet just add Saran wrap + half an inch of vermiculite to stabilize humidity. [/QUOTE]
