I haven't had any issues maintaining a good temperature gradient, but now that the temps are cooling down, I wanted to figure out a more efficient way of heating Dante's 10 gallon glass tank to maintain the ambient temps. I'm also concerned about humidity, as my home gets super dry during the winter.

So firstly, I was wondering if heat tape would be okay to use along the wall of his tank to maintain ambient temps--with the use of a thermostat of course. I ask, because I havent seen anyone really mention using it.

And in regards to humidity, should I just use a damp towel, or could I partially cover the top with plastic wrap? Or would that make the air too stagnant?
