I have limited funds at the moment. He has a reptile bark substrate, a large metal dog bowl for a pool, he has two hides now. The split log on the side away from his light and a solid box with a hole just big enough for him on the warmer side. I have an indoor out door thermometer on the warm side of his tank at his ground level that reads 83 and climbs to 90 if brought up towards the top of his hide during the day and is about 75ish at night. For heat I'm currently using a basking light and at night just a heat light because my house is chilly and im in ohio so it's pretty cold out. I have covered 3 sides of his tank with black poster board (its what I had available) and currently for humidity I'm lightly misting his tank 2 - 3 times a day
