Thanks for the info. I just spent alot on his new cage so next paycheck ill order a hydrofarm or herpstat from amazon. I had foil over half of his old 10 gallon tank i will do the same to this one its just a little difficult since its a slider top. The humidity has increased by 20% by switching from aspen to cypress. Its now at a constant 45-50% compared to 30% with aspen. I have the tank evelated by blocks so if i rest it down on the wood with just the feet the heat pad supplies maybe it will hold more heat. My bp doesnt seem interested in borrowing so i raised the dimmer to 95 degrees so i really dont need to worry about the glass being a little warmer.
