I have a adult H Laoticus in a 10g and a adult P cavi in a 5g and I was wondering if I could swap their tanks?
The Laoticus doesnt dig or burrow at all and the P cavi is constantly digging tunnels, and I feel that it would do better in a 10g than a 5g.
I know their temperature requirements are around the same, both have a 50W IR bulb shining down from the lid, but what about their humidity?
I have read multiple care sheets with mixed reviews on their humidity levels, some stating that The Cavi has same humidity requirements as the Emp/Het species and some saying that the humidity is actually lower like around the 70ish mark.
Currently I have a pothos plant and a water dish in the 5g with the Cavi and I mist it once a day as well as pour water on the substrate every 3-4 days or so. In the 10g with the Het I have small exo terra waterfall, false bottom setup, pothos plant, and of course a water dish in there, so I am guessing the humidity is a bit higher due to the running water + false bottom.
Is it ok for me to swap them out with each other? Or is too 'high' of humidity bad for the cavi? They are both adults if that matters at all.
Thanks
