Hey folks, me again!
So because my heterometrus needs humidity, and because I'm gone so much, I'm thinking about getting an automatic mister. I put an infrared bulb in the tank with him and he has definitely seemed to respond well to that! The downside is that it dries things out *so* fast. And today, for example, I will have been away from home about 40 hours or so by the time I get home tomorrow evening. I don't want my boy to dry out!
Do others use such things? Are they recommended/suited for scorpion terrariums, or is there another solution for keeping things hydrated when you're away from home for extended periods regularly?
ETA: What other tricks are there to keep humidity up? I'm seeing people mention a gravel under-layer that is flooded? My concern is that it's pretty common with my jobs (automatically away for 24-hour stints and then often going away to my part-time straight away) that I will be home very little, and I want to make sure the dude stays healthy.
