ALSO how can i keep moisture up in my enclosure????

If you go to walmart you can pick up an accurite thermometer/hygrometer for about $12. From there you can see what your real temps are then tweek your dimmer for the uth for proper temps until you get a thermostat.... :2cent: just trying to help...
