Instructions
Find a plastic box about the size of your reptile's normal shelter.
Cut a hole in the front of the box big enough for your pet to get through easily.
Add an inch or two of sphagnum moss to the box.
Spray the moss with spring water until damp.
Replace the lid on the box and put it in the reptile's tank.
Monitor the humidity level in the box with the hygrometer. How high the humidity should be depends on the species, but about 70 to 80 percent relative humidity suits many reptiles. Raise the humidity in the box as necessary by spraying or misting with more water.
