I'm still confused, so its only supposed to be humid inside its hiding place? what about the second hiding place that is not above the heating pad? and the rest of the tank? and also my heating pad only monitors its hiding place the rest of the tank is freezing, and i heard they need 85F. and like 90F. inside its hiding place is that true? Your hygrometer is on the glass however there is no humidity but inside its hiding place only... I have a lamp but the lamp doesnt heat at all, basicly the environment of my snake is freezing except its hiding place which is above the heating pad, and i dont get how you are suppose to fit a hygrometer inside its hiding place where u cant see itOriginally Posted by LGray23
I am currently making a humid hide for my bp. It is a Tupperware container (obviously big enough to hold your bp) with a lid ($2.99 at Stop & Shop), cut a hole in it big enough for him to fit inside (free), use a lighter to smooth out the cut edges (free), throw some of his bedding on the bottom (I already have bedding so free), and T-Rex coconut bark (soaked in water, about $8.99 for a huge bag) put in the back and sides of the hide. Viola, $12.00 humid hide.
As far as the UTH, I hope you have something to monitor the temps because they get VERY hot...I use a dimmer and a temp gun...
I use a black light on top to keep up ambient temps, along with the UTH (connected to a dimmer!) it keeps the tank at good temps.
Here's my setup for my one and only tank....the rest are in tubs..
