+1 for savannahmonitor.org it should be taken like a bible.

While i do keep my baby in a glass enclosure, it is only till he is of good enough size for me to rip out the rest of the shelfunit in my garage and build him his adult enclosure, so aout once he is 18"-24" he will get his adult enclosure. for now he is in a 5x2x2 and is a whole 8". You need to cover the top of his enclosure to keep humidity in, does it have a sliding screen top? If it does you need to go to home depot and get aluminum tape and tin foil and cover the screen like 99% which just room for light from your basking bulb to get in. It will hold humidity very well and help hold heat.

what are you using for a heat bulb? i know i had to step up to like a 90watt flood light to get a wide enough basking area for it to be good. I also used an elevated basking area to create an even better heating gradiant. My "hot side" is about 2' wide and makes everything nice.

He also has abouut 8" of decomposed granite/topsoil mix which i only have to mist once a week to keep everything nice and moist. If you cant figure out how to get your setup corected ASAP, like within the next week. You might want to consider giving your poor monitor to someone who is an experienced and can give it a good life and doesnt keep it just for the i have a cool monitor and am going to not research type of people
