    Cover 3/4 of the screen and lose the lamps. See what the temps do with just the uth's. Also get a larger water bowl as mentioned above. Heat lamps can really kill humidity.

    76 is too cool, 80 to 85 is better. Or if you're shooting for a warm side/cool side, 80 on the cool, 90 on the warm.

    I covered most of my screen top with plastic wrap to help hold in the humidity.

    Aspen is fine. Your medium rock cave is fine, the half log doesn't give them enough security. I've found if there's more than one "door" in the hide, mine won't use it. Yours will grow into the medium cave.

    Ditch the day time bulb, too bright.

    The small caves are probably going to be outgrown in a matter of a few months, I'd stick with mediums for now.

    So i've tried all of you guys suggestions but nothing is consistently keeping the humidity stable so I was wondering if this product would work just wondering what you guys think?
