I acquired a heterdoxa x minor from a friend a few days ago. My terrarium is more of a tropical setup for Drosera plants, but I knew this was a highland pitcher variant. With the aid of a DIY evaporative cooler, I keep my terrarium at a comfy 81* and 83% relative humidity. The Heli needs a nigh time drop, so what I do is put it in a 9 qt cooler with about 3 ice packs and a frozen salt water bottle bottle, which puts it down to around 40-50* all night long. Is this a good way to do it, or is there an easier way? I do keep ice packs/bottle in the terrarium all the time. At night it can do down 10* in some spots, but its normally around 75* or so due to the size of the container. My terrarium is actually a 27 gallon storage container with a modified lid and body. Not pretty but it sure works well for my tall dichotoma giant which recently got two new shoots over 8" tall and have 4 sticky fingers each.
Im also working on a trade for a (probable)ceph giant. Ive always wanted one and figured I had room for another cool night pitcher. How's this all sounding? Definitely dont want to do anything detrimental to these gorgeous plants. Thanks.
