what makes me sad that I can't do the right temperature and humidity in the aquarium..

when the heat lamps is on the tempt is 88 F on the hot side and almost 80 on the other side, I'm using a 50 watt lamp, so should i change it to 75 to get to 90-93 degree on the hot side?
and at night after turning the lamp off, the tempt gets to 85 on the hot side?

the other problem is the humidity inside the cage..
it is about 55%.. is it good or I should raise it..
It hard to maintain the perfect humidity because of the lamp,, what should I do?

please guys any information would help me and help my new baby

by the way, he is almost a month old.
I'm sorry if there are mistakes in my writing, I'm not a native english speaker

Thanks and have a great day,,

55% humidity is good. If you can invest in an under-tank heater (UTH) that would solve your problem, so that the heat lamp will only have to maintain the ambient temp and the UTH maintains the hot-side ground temp which you can bump up to 90. The higher the wattage of the lamp, the lower your humidity is going to be.
