I got the 10 GAL Basic Tropical Kit from Petsmart. I thought that would be cheaper than getting all the stuff for the 10 GAL I already had. But the items included seem to be pretty low quality, so I probably wouldn't buy it again or recommend it to anyone. I was having problems holding humidity above 40% with one layer of foil. So I added two more layers and increased the surface area covered with the smaller piece. Did I leave enough room for ventilation? I've also noticed that when the lamp is off the humidity increases. It came with a 50W day bulb, should I get a different bulb? I tried my purple nighttime bulb, I think its a 70W that I use over my 20 GAL terrarium, but the ambient heat got into the mid 90's in combination with the heating pad. Without the day bulb the ambient temp is only 72-75. I'm thinking the heating pad is pretty sucky. Neither big box nor any specialty pet stores in my area carry any heat pad thermostats (which I find very very odd). I've got a Hydrofarm MTPRTC coming on Thursday which will help me see how bad the heating pad is. I'm also considering going back to get a thermometer with an actual substrate probe for the hot side and moving the digital one I have in there now to the cool side. I just put the crappy one that came with the kit up because I had it. Also, I'm worried that my hides are too big. I have a 90 gram 2015 on the way. I looked for little plant saucers and bowls in Wal-mart and Lowe's but couldn't find any that weren't clear. I'm also concerned the little cat water bowl will tip over easy. I couldn't find the souffle cups.

Thanks in advance for any input guys!

P.S That container is just sitting up there so I can soak and weigh my snake when he arrives.
