Re: New 20 gallon tank setup for my growing ball
I run a 50watt infrared 24/7 misted down twice a day with moss. Try that for humidity, does wonders.

ive had no problems with ambient temps in the upper 70's
just mt 2 cents
Re: New 20 gallon tank setup for my growing ball
Well, I am off to get a rheostat and a CHE along with some moss. I ordered two medium sized hide boxes from reptile basics last night so hopefully they get here before the weekend. I'll make a new thread with the new setup when I get it all together.

Switch to a tub. So much easier to keep temps, humidity, and to clean.

Maybe so, but some prefer a viv. looks better to the eye.

I am in the same boat! Althogh I do have a felling my collection will be growing by leaps and bounds here in the near future. Then I WILL have to move to a rack system.

I will probably keep hatch lings in a rack (when i get a female and breed next year) and keep the mom and dad in a viv

Well I got the CHE today and some moss. Foiled the top of the tank and cut a circular hole out where I put the lamp. Hopefully the screen doesn't sag although it is metal so it should be ok. Lamp is on a $10 dimmer from home cheapo. As soon as the hides come in I'm switching them out.

It'll be a few hours before I get the dimmer in a sweet spot but its definitely not too hot. Needs to go up a few more degrees as you can see. Also that foil cover and the moss is keeping the humidity way up so she should be happier now.

Good choice!
;)
Definitely feed in the enclosure like Kaorte has been saying. Your actually more likely to get bitten or cause a regurgitation when feeding in a separate enclosure. :gj:
