To cold?

Alright, well ever since I got my A/C going Leons cage has been pretty cold. Here are the temps.

The Cold Side is 75.6
The Warm Side is 86.4
The UTH is 92.9
And the Humidity is 60%

Are these okay? I know the Humidity is perfect but are the temps?

Cold side needs bumped up 6 degrees or so

Hot side needs bumped up 6 degrees as well

75 degrees is PRETTY COLD

You certainly run the risk of an RI

X2. If you need to, use a heat lamp to raise it. You can put it on a dimmer so it's not quite so moisture sucking. You could also put another heat pad on the cool site with a dimmer to get it to 80. That should raise your hot side as well. Good luck!

Alright, well I got the Cold Side to 80.2 the Warm Side to 90.4 and then the UTH is the same.

Thats certainly a LOT better!!

If you can do some more tweaking, 82/92 would be ideal

At least thats what I shot for when I kept Balls

But those temps should do you just fine

Lol, good. Ty for helping. =)

Hope it's alright if I ask a question on the bottom of this.

My bp is in a 20L with a lamp on one side. I have two thermometers, one on each side.

I know, most people here will say I should use a UTH. Right now, I can't afford it, and normally get really great temps out of my setup. The last couple of weeks, the hot side has been 90-93 and cool side 80-82. Just recently, it has started raining and cooling off more in the afternoons and night, so the tank is getting a bit cool. The cool side is hitting almost as low as 75 degrees. I tried covering the screen to hold some heat in but it didn't really seem to work.
Short of converting to a uth and thermometer setup, what can I do to help warm it up a bit more? Maybe cover a larger area of the top? Or a lower wattage lamp on the cool side with a rheostat?

If you can maintain 78-80 and 88-90 your fine.

Those are the temps i give and their fine. Having a mid 80s for cool side is just too high IMO. And 75 will NOT cause a RI if they have a warm spot of 88-90 to get to and stay warm.
