hey everyone, i have noticed over the last few weeks that my bp's viv hasnt been humid enough, i knew this because she shed wasnt whole (is this write?) so i asked the person i bought her from what to do and he told me to put coconut fibre underneath her repti bark. so i did and the humidity is now at about 40. is this correct.
i put it in last week and tried feeding her last night but she didnt want to know, is this something to do with her new substrate or i think she may be due to shed.
any info greatly apriciated.

tor!

How are you measuring the humidity? - Normal air humidity in the UK is ~50-60% which is just about right. So you have got it very low somehow.

Are you using digital?
