Water typically sits in some of the trays for long periods because I don't want to soil to dry out. I can't take a pic because it's clear and I can't get a clear shot...

    Is my Ceph sick?

    Hi, all! The other day, I noticed that all of the pitchers' lids on my Hummer's Giant were closed. From the knowledge I've gained from several of you, I thought it simply to be a humidity problem, as I saw my humidity gauge had registered 30% at one point, and my humidifier was running...? I...
