If you have difficulties maintaining humidity levels, once you get the hot spot up to 90-92, and keep your ambient temps around 77-85 degrees you may find it useful not use the red lamp if you can keep the other temps stable as lamps seem to lower your humidity levels.

So, the 90-92 degree hotspot can be belly heat alone...the don't need basking heat from above? Don't have the UTH yet...ordered the wrong size, but going to pick a proper sized one today. Def having problems with humidity. Got a piece of acrylic to cove part of the top, but I need to get it cut to size. I hoped that would help with the humidity issue.
