    Temp Issues

    I recently moved my bp into a smaller tank. He is now in a 30 gallon one. I am using a ceramic emitter to keep it warm, but its getting too hot and killing my humidity. What other kind of bulb could I use that isn't going to light the enitre tank?

    Any bulb you use is going to kill the humidity. Im thinking maybe a Radiant Heat Panel thats probably the only thing that wont kill your humidty as bad.

    For heating I would go with UTH connected to a thermostat or dimmer switch.

    Hope this helps!

    Lights will always suck humidity out of your enclosure - it's one reason so many people favor tubs, because lights aren't required for supplemental heating.
