If I only use perlite, do I still need any extra materials to humidify?
    #10599824 - 06/30/09 07:38 PM (15 years, 6 months ago)

So if I only use perlite, do I still need any extra equipment such as a humidifier? Thanks...Also if I use this method do I still need to poke holes in the terrarium?

Perlite will provide all the humidity you need.  There are different designs from no holes, to the shotgun-tek with lots of holes.  ~Pixie~

I saw the video and the guy cut holes at the bottom of his chamber. How would I get the perlite/water from falling from the bottom holes?

We drilled holes into our shotgun FC and nothing really came through at all. If you are worried about it, just place a towel underneath.

Well for a start a you dont have any water in your terrarium, the perlite holds moisture, there isnt any extra water sitting in your terrarium, any perlite that is swimming in water is uselss.


If you have seen the vdeo, and seen them do it right infront of you and no perlite falls out or water...

I have a question...Are you not suppose to add water or clean/replace the perlite after about a week or so?

You want to mist it, and stir it up by hand if need be.  Hopefully no water drips out of the bottom but you could put towels or something down if you get a little too much water in there.

Perlite won't grow contams. but after awhile you can rinse it really well.  Some people boil it.  Some replace it. I get 4cubic feet for $23.00 so it's not a big deal to replace it every so often. ~Pixie~

The holes in the Shotgun FC are for FAE. If you have something else for that (i.e. a bubbler)then no, you don't need the holes. However they are great for FAE. Fanning works too. It all depends on how much time/effort you can and are willing to put into it. The Poor man's pod uses perlite for humidity and a bubble system for Fresh Air Exchange. Shotgun uses all the holes. Different strokes for different folks. Use whats better for your situation/needs.

I personally use monotubs, but you will need bulk for that. There are many teks for a numerous amount of FC. Most will work. It's just a matter of finding what works for you. There isn't one set way to do it, but instead many ways so you can find your best option.

Goodluck!

Thanks and one more question...would fanning be enough or would it be better in combination with the holes?

Fanning can be enough, as long as you do it 4-6 times a day, but the hole would surely help.

You just soak the perlite and put about a half inch in there and then put about half an inch dry perlite.

Get a hygrometer with a wire sensor you can drop in the terrarium.

add small amounts of water if the humidity is low but be careful not to splash the water on the cakes.

hope this could help.
