Humidity???

Oh, and one more thing comes to mind about humidity and that picture....it looks like you're using waterbowls as hides. (Which works great....I know from personal experience. ;) ) If both of those bowls have water in them, that will also raise the humidity. Just keep water in one...if you're not already doing that.

Yes it is Bed-A-Beast. I actually remodeled recently after viewing your set up i believe Judy. There is only water in one bowl and smooth rocks in the other for weight, she seems to like..hasn't peeked out since she got in there. Re the screen top i used the foil and tape concept...seems to be working .. i turned to lamp on and now the temps are 90 ambient and humidity is @ 50. Thanks for the thermometer tip, will do. But any of you guys have suggestion for a decent/good regulator for the UHC. I plan on getting a ceramic emmitter and a moon light instead if the heat lamp??? Again thanks

Sounds like you're getting things figured out. :) To regulate a heat source...the ideal method is a reliable thermostat. You can find one at http://www.mgreptiles.com/ or a variety of other online suppliers. I recommend the Johnson t-stat for a basic, single-cage setup. But if that is too expensive, then you can go to the hardware store and pick up a lamp dimmer. It's like a dimmer switch you'd find on a wall, but it's meant to be used for table lamps...you just plug the cord into it and slide the dimmer switch. You just have to monitor that kind of control a LOT more because it won't self-regulate when the room temps change.

Awesome, thanks for the link, i looked @ that one i may have to invest soon. Thanks
