Hey all!
We have had a young bp for about 5 days and have a few questions for our husbandry. I currently have a 10 gal to start our little guy out with and will move up when he grows a bit. I live in New Hampshire and the weather has gotten cooler over the last few days. The enclosure temps dropped to 65° last night and I'm trying to find the best way to keep the temps steady. I have a UTH with a thermostat that keeps the hot side 88-90° and in an attempt to keep the air temp warm i just put on a CHE today with another thermostat set for 82°. Now in doing that the humidity drops to around 35% which is not going to work. Misting water brought it up to 55% but then the CHE took the water right back out again. Im thinking covering the cool half of the screen top with plastic wrap to hold in the moisture and thinking about a different substrate. Any help on this is greatly appreciated. The house usually is around 75-80° lately but we haven't turned on the heat yet due to operating costs to heat the house in fairly warm temps for us. Should i get a heater for the room he's in? I'd think the would be a better way to regulate his enclosure.
Specs are below:
Enclosure: zilla 10gal terrarium with metal screen top.
Substrate: zilla reptile carpet (thinking this may need to change)
Heating: UTH heating pad with thermostat and CHE with thermostat.
