Hey guys,
I'm pretty confused on the topic of "regularly misting your beardies cage". It seems to be another one of those practices, much like substrate choice, that everybody has a different (and hard-pressed) opinion on. Some people tell me that they need the daily moisture, some people tell me that they need as little humidity as possible and that they get all the moisture they need from greens and prey.
Does anybody have any proper information to back either of these statements up?
I soak my BD every couple days and i don't mist. Common sense tells me that the moisture from misting plus the high temps would cause huge bacterial growth? Surely that viv would be like a giant petri-dish! Or can any of you die-hard misters out there give me a reason to get the spray bottle out?
Just thought it would be cool to get to the bottom of it.
