Hi There,

I noticed this morning that the humidity in Flo's viv has gone up to 70, I think this is due to my changing her substrate when i cleaned her out at the weekend. I used orchid bark and i had let it 'air dry' for a few days thinking that would dry it out. Should i have put it in the oven?

Will this level drop or should i take the bark out to dry it some more?

Have you not got a local saddlery or some large pet shop that might have some or be able to get some in?

Have you tried the phone number on their site to find out suppliers in your area?
