I have ordered a thermostat and it's on the way. I didn't realize that my temps were so extreme.
I have also ordered nutribac so that when I feed Donut 2 weeks from now, she can have some probiotics to refill her gut.
I have reduced the amount of aspen I had piled on before. Now it's about just over an inch from the bottom of the container.
My plan is to keep Donut in this smaller enclosure for the next few months until she gets bigger/healthier enough for the 20-gal terrarium I have.
The current ambient temperature is 77.9F and the humidity level is 81%.
I have a UTH that is attached to one side of the container, covering about 50% of the bottom.
I also have a small water bowl inside.
I'm not sure what to do about the high humidity level.
When I open the container, the humidity level drops to 55% and the ambient temperature drops to about 76.1F, but I can't leave Donut unattended for long periods of time with the lid off.
What are some strategies I can use both short-term and long-term to keep a perfect humidity level?
