:3 I shall. You think it's safe for me to leave rice in his tank overnight? It won't harm him if he decides to try eating it?

personally i wouldnt put rice in his tank at all. just maybe around the tank or even on top of it, depending on your lid. i myself have an open tank so i dont have humidity issues as much, just need to mist. but putting rice inside the tank id be worried itd block up inside him if he ate it maybe

Maybe if you put it in a sock or a nylon stocking or something and perhaps hang it somewhere? That way it will soak up the moisture in the tank but he won't be able to get to it and end up hurting himself with it.

Just an idea *shrug*
