So the tank is still a work in progress. I need to get a digital thermometer for more accurate temps and humidity as right now I just have the analog ones that came with the tank and my laser thermometer. I also want to get some plants to help fill in more space as well as cardboard up at least two sides.



The left side is the hot side, right side is the cool side. For some reason tonight she wants to be on the cool side even though it's pretty cool. I will have to get a second UTH for the cool side since my house gets really cold and I can't get it to get warmer than 73F there. Temps I verify with a digital laser thermometer. I also keep the lamp in the center generally and will be switching out to a 75W night bulb to get the ambient temp up as again, my house is freakin' cold most of the time and that is with the heat on. Space heater is not an option as we are not allowed to have them in the house. I'm also gonna foil half of the one screen as the humidity has been tough to keep up. I'm also picking up some sphagnum moss to turn the back log hide into a moist one for her.

So the tank itself has a sliding screen top. On top of that I have placed a second sturdier screen top since I have cats and they are never to be trusted to not jump on things they are not supposed to. The second screen should make it pretty hard for escaping as I have trouble popping it off because it's really snug, plus it prevents the first screen from being able to slide outward.
