    Questions about humidity and temperture

    I set up a new habitat using a sterilite container. My basking side's temperature fluctuates between 88 and 90 and my cooler side stays steady around 76.6 with my humidity reading between 62 and 66%. The room temperature is around 72. Are these temperatures ideal for a safe environment? I have checked several websites and cant find consistent answers. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    Your humidity is great. For optimal temps, you'll want your cool side to be right around 79-81 degrees. Bumping up the ambient temp might get you right where you need to be.

    Ideal depends on the species you are keeping in that tub, you are not mentioning the species and this is place in the general herp section
