jartok: humidity and ptfe (1. Dez 2011 19:33)

Hi i am thinking of getting some ants that require 80% humidity now i have seen that ptfe in high humidity just goes weird and comes off - so what can i do for protection while providing this ?

thanks

Use a fan for Air circulation

I use a small pc fan over the vents to clear condensation and to provide air circulation. I have them so they suck air out rather than in.

I also use small PC fans. I place them on the mesh of the lid. Mine are directed to push air into the basin. Also i tape over almost the whole mesh to close it. The only space i leave open is exactly on the other side of the lid so the air has to go through the whole basin and cant flow out before it reached the end.

Good ideas to improve air circulation, but won't the better circulation also mean lower humidity for the ants?
