I am using analog therm. the UTH is just a plug in in a few days im going to get a better one. I do mist in there alot and during the day when he is in asleep I put a moist towel over the top of the cage I keep that room around 70 degrees. His cage is staying right around 85 under lamp and then 75 on cold side of cage. I will try the plex glass thats a great idea. Tomorrow I will let him soak its not shed at all its just him being super dry. Im also going to get something to let me know humidity levels in there. For now I will keep misting was thinking is it wise in the hide to mist it good under there? its where the UTH is.
