Well last week after answering a thread about molting problems and knowing that my Ts molted after a big storm and more humid weather (it can be a coincidence too) I decided knowing that a big storm (summer storm) was coming, to "mimic" the effects of that storm on my vivariums.
I moisted the substrate more than usual, and the new xaxim background keeps the humidity high, I know that some don't bother about humidity in the hair because the damp sustrate provides that humidity, but having the right tools I tried to keep it like at levels just like after a big storm. The active ventilation keeps the air moving, I wouldn't do this "experiment" not having a nice ventilation
Before the experiment both of my Ts were showing signs of "premolt", just started to refuse food and were more reclusive. So it'll be nice to see if there is any effect on them.
For now, the only thing I noticed is that the pulchra is rubbing her abdomen more than usual and placing her hairs around her.
A video from yesterday.

External temps are at 24-27°C and 80-85% of himidity.
