You could cut the bottom off a bottle, put it in that way, and keep the top on when you weren't pouring water through. Use a funnel if necessary.
A really close friend of mine said the exact same thing about a hour after I uploaded this one
I do like the theory of you trying to keep the moisture in the enclosure, so I do hope it works out. Cool video Scott.
Thank you Jackie fingers crossed
I've changed the mesh to 4mm acrylic with some holes drilled into it I use habitat sedge peat as the first layer on top of the clay balls and give that a good soak I also mix rotting wood used with isopods,centipedes in their substrate with coco fibre and a small amount of sedge peat for the top layer one side is kept quite damp 1 good soak a week and other side sprayed once every 2 weeks I also keep them quite high up on the shelving this works for me and isn't perfect but have had no problems with any forest scorpion using this method 👍 great video always good to hear other keepers ideas 👌
Thank you some really good ideas there , might have to try it too. Yeah it’s amazing to find out what others do and there inverts do great some one less does something different tans there invert does Great too
excited for the video
Thank you
Something that I suggested to Tom Moran in a video about moisture dependent species - meat injector. There are different sizes. It's just basically a big syringe. That way the surface would stay dry as most T's, and other animals, don't like walking on wet surfaces.
Good content for sure! Always looking for new methods to maintain our micro eco systems! ;)
I like the idea of that , might ask Tom if he went on to use one too.
Thank you.
@@ScottsInverts You can get them in larger sizes and in stainless also. Works quite well especially if you're creating an aquifer.
I like the idea of stainless , auafifer stil not got one of those
Awesome video mate very educational and what a brilliant idea I keep mine in a plastic rub which is a clear plastic so the humidity is always high but I am thinking of moving them to a tank like yours so will definitely do this mate thank you
thank you gald you enjoyed the video, i did a full setup care video last week might give you some ideas on setting thm up in a exo terra
@@ScottsInverts thank you mate ill have a look into that one too 👍
AWESOME video mate good info in your videos keep them coming
Thank you bro
@@ScottsInverts Your welcome mate
Want a scorpion the more I keep seeing them great vid again scott good stuff
Cheers bro, defo worth it altho feeding response is the only thing that lets them down tbh. Such a intresting invert to keep
@@ScottsInverts I like how their more maternal to there young definitely one day ayy 😎
Thanks man! Great video and amazing idea, should be a really helpful thing for moisture dependent spiders as well like Theraposas. Saw somebody else do this on a video, think it was Tom Moran or Dave.
Dave is coming on a live with week on Tuesday , moisture will be one of the topics, not seen them do this yet tho tbh
@@ScottsInverts cool! I will try to be there, was on the live show with Tom Moran that you had on your channel, that was fantastic!
Thank you Johan see you there
Well...i silicone pvc conduit that's basically blown out at the bottom as a means to pump out water if need be. Then a pvc end cap. It can obviously work to ad water also.
Brilliant way to do it ❤️ better then mine
@ScottsInverts i use the pvc to hold up corl or other structures sturdily. And it dawned on me as i was fixing them to the bottom on one of my first humid/ tropical enclosures. I was worried about nasty stagnant water. Although I never need to pump out as i intended. I do however add to the bottom in dryer months. I
@@its4yourowngood_yvfw are you on youtube with these ideas ?
As the mesh is intended to stop the substrate from filtering down, couldn’t you just cover the top of the bottle with mesh and have it the same height as substrate and covered in a thin layer of sub?
You’d know where the bottle was for filling etc and maybe no reason to put cork bark on it etc providing the top of the bottle and it’s mesh was secured in place ?
I like the idea and look forward to the live with Dave next Tuesday.
ZerOVis I thought about it and the new idea is this, cut the bottle half way up and use it so the cap is at the top then I can screw it of and on when ever I need. To keep it low and can even cover the cap with substrate.
See this Tuesday
@@ScottsInverts nice.
I’m really new into the hobby (think you followed me on insta the other day - rookie)
And humidity is something that I’m obviously paranoid about (despite knowing full well I don’t need to be in most cases)
I keep saying to others it would be nice to have a Tarantula social worker come over to houses and say yep that’s fine or ‘nope it needs this and that’ 😂😂
Looking forward to Tuesday video for sure.
@@TarantulaRookie tarantula social worker that’s brilliant lmao, over filling the water dish or just keeping a corner wet is fine in most cases the key is make sure they have a water to drink, but we can go over it all with Dave
@@TarantulaRookie Scott’s invert army is the small face group of you want to join that too full of TH-cam links but there are plans to be more active on there
@@ScottsInverts awesome will check the group
Have the bottle other way around for spiders coz the you can just put the bottle top back on
So cut the bottle lower to substrate and have it the other way and put top back on when you put water in
Lizzy rang me and showed me the same thing said when capped off you ca cover it with substrate too
I had no luck with my Asian forest, never ate. I tried all sorts to get things right too 😞
Wc ?
@@ScottsInverts no captive bred. Bex got one from the same breeder and hers was great. Just couldn't get mine to eat and it sadly died
Thing is Jay could be internal issue that know one could predict or even know about , there symptoms are pretty much go sluggish or die , keep trying tho
I have just stumbled across this video, so sorry to be late to the party! (Not sure if there has been any updates)
The theory being this is the same as self watering plants, though I think that drilling a hole I to the side of the enclosure in the drainage level would be a neater and more effective way of bottom watering.
I think this may be over engineering though, I would first look at ways to retain the humidity, instead of having to add increased volumes of water. Could moss be added to your substrate mid to retain water? Maybe it this was just added in plentiful amounts in the power levels, this would hold water nicely after a long soak. Also adding leaf litter to the top surface level would act as a barrier for the evaporating moisture in the power levels, this would allow the expressed water to drop right back into the substrate?
Moss works well, plus with the bottle you grt to be doing something else with your enclourses, it does work really well tbf.
So how did this work out? I’m thinking of literally adding a corner inside from top to bottom but having holes only in the bottom so it’s released only into the drainage level . Do you ever have to worry about mold issues? I have a reptile heater that sticks to the glass under the aquarium also. So I assume that with very low heat it’ll allow the humidity to soar and my scope will enjoy it … please tell me how your project turned out in this video. I’m very curious because if it worked I’m going to add the column in the back as I described . Thanks…. Brian
No Brian no mold but I do have a healthy colony of springtails, the water goes direct to the drainage layer spreads out underneath the substrate and comes up through it hope that helps
@@ScottsInverts yes!! That helps allot so I know my idea will be fantastic and I’ll share it in the Army when I’m finished… thank you greatly.
@@theinvisibleman2709 more then welcome look forward to seeing it
