Have you tried bubblers in their pools or climbing background?

I have thought about that! Still haven't a clue how to go about it lol I'm in process of upgrading to a bigger tank and considered adding that in since I'll have tons of space.

I have my lid well wrapped in plastic wrap and I have bubblers in both my fw and sw pool. I only ever have to moisten the sub around the heater where it dries up. Humidity has been stable for a very long time. Good luck :)
2 small PPs: Leonardo, Biscuit
3 medium to large PPs: Kermit Rocketson, Lulu, Strawberry (named because he is red, not actually a straw)
1 Neon Tetra: Stevie. 1 Crawfish: Larry

Congrats to everyone on their successful molts!! Might have one too, just caught Tuna and Clawford (the only one up until now) wreaking havoc in the tank tunneling under the saltwater pool!

Haha. That's always how it starts right? And then as soon as your gone it's wacko-crazy let's see how much we can move stuff around for mom to clean up! Obviously that's not what they are thinking, but I never see their destructive behavior, just the aftermath. haha
