    Cool side ambient
    I'm really struggling to keep the cool side ambient temps up in my girls enclosures. The warm side has UTH and CHI keeping ambient between 78-82f. On UTH is 90, both on Tstat . But cool side is going down to 70. Heating the room to raise overall and both enclosures, although glass are insulated and have wooden covers wrapped in tin foil. Humidity is 50-65% for Luna who isn't in shed. Prec is being kept 65-80% as she is in blue. Thoughts? Any other ideas? Here's pics of both:

    You can always add another heat lamp to the cool side of each enclosure and just keep the ambient temp throughout the whole enclosure at 78-80F. Or if you have the money, you can always look into a PVC enclosure like Animal Plastics. With a fully enclosed plastic enclosure, the heat is held a lot better.

    Yes I'm saving for 2 boaphile cages.... I moved the CHI more to the middle of Prec's which seems to be working and raised the heat in the room too.
