according to my analog hygrometer my humiditys gone up since I started misting and added a third water bowl, which they seem to be using. Is that dangerous? Do I need to fix it, and if so how
Stay awesome guys, gals, and non binary pals

Re: Can you over humidify a crabitat
Higher humidity isn't a problem for the crabbies. My hygrometer reads 99% all the time. You may find mold more of an issue as the humidity rises though. Just be careful not to mist too much, it could potentially cause a flood if you overdo it.

Re: Can you over humidify a crabitat
Higher humidity usually equates to more mould growth, but as mentioned prior its unlikely to be an issue for the crabs.
Analog gauges are known for being a little inaccurate, so I'd calibrate it if you haven't done so already.

Re: Can you over humidify a crabitat
My digital gauges that are calibrated read 90-99% in all three of my tanks. I have no issues - not even with mold.
In new tanks you might have an issue with mold, but I never have.
