GOOD LUCK
You are definitely right about the basking light. It was upping my ambient temps to about 93 and my humidity wouldn't get over 46. Switched it out for an infrared bulb last night. My ambient air temp is now around 86 between the warm/hot areas and the humidity is stable at 56%. It's on a timer so I'll have to monitor it tonight to see how much the temp/humidity variates..
