yeah I was going to say you guys should put a paper towel in the bottom, or some dirt.

My setup was just large cup with twigs, paper towel, and mesh lid.

Devonte there should be a large ventilation hole on those tanks, especially with a moisture holding sub like sphagnum. cut a hole in the lid or side and cover with mesh. my vents were 3 inches across and there would still be mold in the tank.

 
All of these setups need paper towel (or some other substrate) in the bottom to hold humidity.
I have a silk leaf glued to the bottom.. and I have a sponge for moisture on top...

Do you think that is good? I can also put paper down..

I am also putting moisture pearls in some of my habitats... just to see if it makes a difference..

Does anyone else use them?

 
The whole top of both containers have screen.. is that enough? or should I cut a side window?
