After advice

[RachelLane95]

I keep my panther in a mesh viv and recently ive been struggling to get spikes in his humidity its always fairly low (30-40%) without spraying but when i spray it only goes up to about 50% i think this may be because i use room temp water to spray him so im after ideas of how to warm the water before hand, i use bottle water as i know tap water is no good so its not as simple as turning on the hot top. Ive tried putting it in a hot cupboard, running the bottle under hot water, not sure what else to do. It seems to be affecting his eyes as they are always irritated. I work 8.30-5.30 so he is sprayed before i go and then someone will spray him at 4.30 when they get home and them again when im home. Ive noticed that wheni have days off his eyes dont bother him at all because im there to spray him througout the day. Im trying to get hold of a mister at the moment but the one im after is out of stock at my work (would preferebly get it from there as i get a big discount which is a life saver) obviously if i cant get one il go elsewhere. So really im after advice on keeping humidity up and raising the temp of the water im spraying him with thanks

Have you tried plastic on the back and sides ? I've also heard of using bubble wrap or shower curtain cut to fit-

Im going to be buying some bubble wrap this weekend as his night temps are dropping lower than they should so il see if that helps thanks

I use the cheapest shower curtain liners I can find, then cut it to size, and stick it on the back and one (or both) sides of the cage.
It realy helps keep the RH in.

I use the window sealing kits, they come with the 2 sided tape, it comes clean off the cages in spring, and you can take a blow dryer and you heat it, and takes all the wrinkles out , you can not even tell its on there, I do the door ( but not the little trap door part ) and all 3 sides - if you buy them when they go on clearance, you can get them for like $2 a box, and a box will do 2/3 cages
