    I Think I'm ready...
    Got everything set up now. Temps have been steady. Humidity without covering / misting as been 40-45%.
    I went ahead and covered half of the screen with foil tape to see if I can get it to 50%. The hot-side reading is 93 but that is glass temp, surface of substrate inside hide is 89-90. I'm thinking of putting a small piece of cork bark on the cool side to crowd the tank a bit more and also give a rough surface to rub on. Opinions? Critiques? Thanks :)

    Heating is UTH + t-stat, and red heat light on a dimmer (75w about 1/3 dimmed) Substrate is cypress mulch. Tank is blacked out on three sides with black foam shelving liner.

    You don't need something for it to rub on, they can shed their skin in an empty tank. Remember, although it may look cool, you're going to have to clean everything you put in there...soooooo less is better :)

    looks good :gj:

    Very true! I just want to make sure my baby feels secure (which is why I put the vine thing in there). I'm good with leaving the cork bark piece out, just had it sitting around so thought she might like it :) Thanks for the reply!
