    The humid hide will only be humid in that hide, check out the exo terra snake caves they seem good to contain humidity, 55-60% SHOULD be fine for constant humidity, just next time he goes into she'd make sure you kick the humidity up to about 70%

    You could leave him in there till the night or overnight, I'm from the UK so you could leave him there until night. Right now it's 3:11pm

    Is that on a ceramic heater? See my cool end is a little to cool but the roof of the hide in warm end is 94f so I can't turn it up anymore! I think this ceramic radiator creates a basking area that is too large so anything underneath it is too hot on the roof yet needs turning up to up my cool end! I may change to ceramic bulb then it's got a smaller basking area directly under it so I can increase the overall temp on cool end... If that makes sense lol

    It's a white Python ceramic heater with guard etc and they are made smaller so gives you more room.

    I have me tstat probe behind my warm end hide cable tied to the back of the wall 5mm off the ground then just adjust the tstat untill the thermometer which is cable ties to the top of the hide says 90-92f

    I think my radiator due to size is making the roof of any hide underneath it even off to the side too hot before I've got the cool end high enough! Will change to ceramic bulb next week I think, I've got a temp gun for checking surfaces, roof of hide etc.... Thanks
