    I realize the way your screen is covered is the reason that your humidity is maintained. However, You're going to have to uncover the rest of the right hand side by the CHE to allow air circulation and prevent stagnant air.

    Other than that, the set up looks great!
    What brand of hides are those and where did you get them?

    i got them at pet supermarket. dont know what brand they are.

    Stagnant air? will that hurt my bp? if i open up the rest of that side the humidity will drop tremendously. is it really that important?

    Stagnant air is like locking yourself in an air tight room... do you see where I'm going with this?

    They need to have some sort of air circulation.

    Do you REALLY need that CHE set up? If you can do without it, I would get rid of it and leave that open space on the lid for air.

    That will also decrease humidity loss.

    Put in a little spaghnum moss, spray it about twice a day, and BAM! No need for that much cover up anymore.
