No wonder it seemed so fun looking.
My T is, very healthy the water dish has NEVER been an issue and the dampness is on purpose even with the water dish I damp the opposite side every now and then to help the humidity.Wow, the size of that water dish is comical...the t probably webbed it for safety reasons..lol. That's a diving pool for a t, not a water dish. Also an obt should be kept dry, bone dry, I can't believe how wet most of your sub is. It should all be dry...lucky they are as resilient as they are.
They do not need any help with regards to humidity at all.

The dampness doesn't hurt the T if its not consistent.
I've never had issues with any OBT...people on this site give you information as the way they keep their Ts and what works for them....After you've been on here a few years and/or keeping Ts for many years as I have you find out what works for you and what doesn't.They do not need any help with regards to humidity at all.

"They are native to drier regions of east Africa and so depend less on moisture...They do best if kept on the dry side.."
Just because it is healthy, doesn't mean there isn't any room for improvement. Why settle when improvements are easy...actually easier than you are currently keeping it. Keeping it dry will also discourage mites and other unwanted pests that are attracted to the moisture, as well as mold and such. The drier you can keep it, the less issues you are opening yourself up to in the future. Just something to think about...do whatever you want. Fact is they are one of the toughest, most resilient species available and are capable of living in just about any circumstance....but if dry is best, easiest and least likely to cause issues, why not embrace that?
True but... when you take an animal that is indigenous to a hot arid desert climate and make it live in a swamp, it just makes a person wonder.I've never had issues with any OBT...people on this site give you information as the way they keep their Ts and what works for them....After you've been on here a few years and/or keeping Ts for many years as I have you find out what works for you and what doesn't.
You DON'T have to have to eat word for word what you are fed in life.
