I bought an Exo terra enclosure for Lucy yesterday. It's absolutely gorgeous, I love it. However I am having troubles maintaining heat and humidity. For some reason, the higher the humidity, the Lower the temperature, I'm not too certain why this is happening and how I can prevent constant fluctuation in his enclosure. My room is in the basement so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I've tired covering the top screen so that way not a lot of heat will escape but all that does is bump up the humidity, and drops temperature slowly.
What substrate do you guys recommend? Also would it be a good idea to invest in a heat lamp? My only concern with that, is that it may dry up my little guy
SOS someone pls help. The fact that the heat and humidity won't stay where they should be is driving me insane
