Re: My albino male is afraid of heat...?
No, I am not using a heat lamp right now. And I have read that thread already. Heres his tank:

The only way to get the humidity to stay in the tank was to fully cover the lid, if I left an opening with a heat lamp the humidity was non-existent.
Re: My albino male is afraid of heat...?
I had one of mine set up about the same the only thing was i had a gap were the che was sitting. By the pic i could not tell what your substrate was, i always used cypress or aspen or even a mix of one of those and coconut fur. All of those are a substrate that holds moisture pretty good so there comes a lil more humidity. The other thing i would do was place my water dish shallow but with a large surface area under the che this creates moisture through evaporation. When i did this i would also place a small water dish in a nother place that was not so warm. The only thing is i would thuroughly clean my water dish every other day since warm water is a good place for disease and bacteria to grow. Just throwing what i got out there maybe it could help.

Cool, thanks for the tips.
Re: My albino male is afraid of heat...?
use a red light and then keep a spray bottle next to the cage to spray once a day
Re: My albino male is afraid of heat...?
I use a red light and put wet paper towels on top of the screen, cover it with foil and then Dakota's "blanky" which is easily removed when it's hot, but insulates in the cold. I generally still have to spray once a day given that the heat in the house is on now - plus two water dishes. All of this keeps it at 55-58. Seems like a lot of work, but really it's not once you get a routine down.:gj:

Is that a recycled newspaper pellet substrate?
