New setup finally ready

I think I've finally got my setup dialed in and ready for my BP to be delivered.

Hot side surface around 90 and cool side surface about 85. Ambient temps about 81 and humidity around 84.

Hope the little guy finds it to his liking!

Cool side / end really need to be lower ... There should be a decent gradient so they can choose .

Most of mine tend to stay in the 80-82F region and occasional stay in the warmer area ( especially after a feed to aid digestion of course ) ..

Look fabulous by the way !!

A few branches would be great as well ..

Thanks....I'll look to lowering the UTH on the cool side. Hopefully that doesn't lower the ambient temp too much (I know it's been said before that surface heat doesn't affect ambient temps :) I'm sure a couple tests and I'll be a believer or non believer of this.

Also, after a couple hours my humidity indicator was pegged at 99% and the glass was steamy. This is after I installed freshly watered reptichip and sprayed down some of the fake vegetation. I assume this will come down but curious if there is an issue if the humidity is too high. The PVC enclosure has 4 small vents on each side.

That's what I figured. Is it normal for surface temps to increase once substrate and hides are in place? All my initial readings were taken w/ an empty enclosure and now the hot side has gone from 90 to 92/93. I'm guessing the substrate and hides trap the heat so I'll have to factor that into my tstat setting. Thanks again Zincubus. You've been a huge help for 1st timers like myself.
