    Re: Is this a suitable terrarium for a Bp?
    I will warn that when I tried to just use a heat mat for heating, I found that it wasn't enough so I had to continue using my heat lamp on one side (my hotside) while the heating mat kept the tank at a solid ~85° I use the lamp on one side to bump it up ten degrees higher for his hot side

    How does covering the top create airflow? I'm so confused

    Some pics of my setup with this tank. The lid is a screen but it's sectioned off into four sections (not that that makes it much of a difference) is show you it, but obviously I can't do that what with the foil covering it. There's Calliope too, laying between her skulls behind her water dish.

    That's actually not the same one i posted the link to that one looks like an exoterra I would ditch some of that foil I have been seeing that not enough ventilation can cause respiratory infections and you don't want that..

    But tye entire top is screen? You can't keep humidity in that.

    I thought about using the cage w the screened area on the side, but went w exoterra. I was afraid of heat and humidity loss because of that screened side

    I have most of the top of Connors cage covered w foil, except a small area on both ends on the top to allow a little heat to escape and some air flow.. Otherwise I lost heat and humidity. I too use more than a heat mat.. I dont use a bulb though, I use a heat emitter. I couldnt keep humidity steady ever though, not until I got a cool mist humidifier and piped it into cage and then put it on a timer that allows it to cycle on and off 5 times a day to keep humidity steady.

    I've had to mist jeffrees tank like 6 times today cuz the humidity has sucked badly for the last couple days (which is weird cuz its been cool and damp weather for the last few days) what brand is the cool mist humidifier?

    Same the spray bottle I use is from dollar tree I use the reptisafe conditioner in that water as well as his drinking water because I don't want my little baby coming in any contact with chlorine.
