So i have my pygmy tank all set up. 29g all the drainage layers(hydroton, charcoal, top substrate, a pathos, some dracina, baked leaves and sticks.
I have been misting lightly 2 times a day to keep the humidity up around 70. and im using a 2.0 repti-sun UVB bulb.
a few concerns i have before i put my guys in there.
1) The amount of water im misting is the maximum i can do with out flooding the cage and i don't feel that my guys will get enough water. Does anyone have some "guide lines" on how much water should be sprayed? IM spraying about half a bottle of water from the "Mist'r Lizard Jr" which i bout a while back from the pet store. It holds about a glass and a half of water.
2) I have already noticed some fungus growing, i have had it up and running for 2ish weeks now. I removed the fungus, is this something that is a natural occurrence in a habitat that has such high humidity, if so i will keep removing it but i think i may be doing something wrong.
3) I haven't put any sow bugs or springtails in yet, would they help eliminate the fungus "problem"
Thanks!
