    So, after a couple of weeks here is how things stand. Temps: no problems got a nice gradient going. Humidity... lowish. I don't know what else to do to KEEP my humidity up. I have most of the lid sealed (see pic below) and have his water bowl over the UTH.

    If I spray his enclosure I can get the humidity up, no problem but a couple of hours later it is back down below 50%. It usually bottoms out at about 35%.

    Any tips? I am thinking next step will be to put a small rubbermaid inside stuffed with damp sphagnum moss. Should keeping the humidity up be such a daily chore?

    My poison dart frogs don't have this problem, but their tanks aren't heated either.

    I've got my lid foiled and taped up. And I've got some terrarium moss in specific locations that I spray when I mist. Holds the humidity great.

    Lamp + UTH and 20 glass long and I get stable temps and humidity.

    Thanks Gundy. I got some moss I can wet down right now... we'll see how it goes.
