The humidity I keep around 55-60% and I use an UTH under his basking area to keep it more warm here. I have heard that Aspen is the best substrate to use, so I am thinking of switching to it although I really like the color of the bark in there now!!!
    You should have the main hide on the hot side which should be around 88-92 Hot Spot
    and the cool end around 80-85 if i am correct?
    and your humidity is great, when he is in shed you should bump that up to 70-75% by misting.

    Do you have a Thermostat? If not i would advise you to get one ASAP

    Here is a pic of my setup:



    As you can see the hide on the hot end (88-92)

    and a Piece of wood on the cool end which he likes to hide under which is around 80-85 (never let it drop below 70)

    As you can see i have a thermostat at the back the small black thing which controls the heat, This set up is a bit old now though, i have new heat mats, thermostats etc...

    Could you upload a picture of your set-up?
