I recently purchased a new enclosure for Atticus. Here's a link to the website and a description of the cage features: http://www.showcasecages.com/cage_details.htm

I got the 48 x 24 x 18. My temps were not getting high enough with a 60W bulb, but I didn't want to risk a 150W, so I went with 100W. I purchased a larger UTH (which is regulated at 90). I have a heat sensor inside the tank above the UTH to monitor temps, and it stays right around 90. With the higher wattage CHE, the humidity is dipping on that side. That doesn't worry me as much, since I can route in some humidity. Here are my issues:

1. Below the CHE, surface temps are REALLY high, like 110 (on top of his hide, for instance). Is that going to create the same burn issues as high belly heat?
2. Ambient temps are still not great. I'd say they average between 77-80 - this is including the air temp on the side with the hot surface temps.

Any tips for how I might find some balance here? Or am I okay? TIA!
