Another humidity question. :p

[Trademark]

I live in a very dry climate, like 5-20% on most days. Is spritzing my two nymphs once in the morning and afternoon enough? I also have 4 ooths as well, should I be spritzing them, too? Our house is always 75-80 degrees, so I'm not worried about that. They're just Chinese mantises, by the way.

I'm thinking about a hygrometers, but where I do get those? Do you think just a piece of wet sponge at the bottom of each container will do? Excuse all my concerns, I'm so anxious to keep them all healthy, haha! Thank you for any help.

i use net cages..humiderty is 25%..i mist once - twice a day.

You are doing fine, and yes do the ooths too, use distilled water if you can and make it warm!

Ah, ok, I feel much better! Thank you!

Personally with chinese i would mist twice daily and use kitchen towel in the container,they can mismoult easily,but otherwise fine.

For a hydrometer meter you should check pet land discounts. I picked up a few from there.

Thank you all for the information! I have moist paper towels sitting with the ooths which I'll of course change at least daily. Now I can focus on getting the nymphs the water they need. I'll go down to a couple pet shops later in the week and see what they have.

'Eurozoo' hygrometer's appear to be very accurate,Exo-terra's are cheap and reliable and i would imagine more easy to obtain. I use both myself and have had no problems.
