1. If your terrarium has an open top- maintain condensation on ONE side of the glass at all times. If there is no condensation it is too dry.
2. If your terrarium has a lid or is closed-top, maintain moisture levels so that condensation is forming on ONE side of the terrarium. If there is no condensation add a few spritzes of distilled water.
3. If condensation is forming on all sides of your closed-top terrarium it is too damp- remove the lid for a few hours (and cover with mesh if you have gnats in the area! See pest post)!
