    Worried about ooth

    I usually keep my ooths at 72F and my RH at 50% to 65%, but my enclosure for my chinese ooth accidentally got placed on a heater for a day and got 20% RH. Then I misted it and realised what it was on so I took it off, luckily the temp wasn't too high. Do you think it will be alright?
