4.Hot side should be 90-92, your cool side is good.

How do you heat the warm side, under tank heater? Have a quality thermostat on it? If you don't it's a must.
1. I'll do that today. Should I just use black paper? Or can it be like a desert/forest background?

2. Yeah, the half log is just in there. I was thinking about taking it out. I was also looking at this for a hide. What do you think?

3. I only use that to read the humidity level. I have a digital attached, but you can't see it.

4. Ok, I'll get the heat up some more. The book I bought said 85-90.

5. I do use an under tank heater, plus it's naturally warm in my room too. That's what side (the hot side) is the digital thermostat on. You can see the white cord on the far right side.
