Substrate - Dusty?

One spray a day is too much. In a properly sealed enclosure, I can maintain 90% humidity for weeks at a time without so much as a sprits.

When I talk about substrate being moist at depth, I mean that when you mix the substrate, it should be moist all the way through. The top, the bottom, the middle should all be just a little bit wet, so when you put it in the enclosure it is moist all the way to the bottom.

Unfortunately mine isn't air tight, I tapped down some cling film behind the air vents only to notice there is a slight gap on the joint on the one side. But on a positive note its just another thing that's made me want to build a new, bigger, cleaner and air right vivarium for January
