I think we,ve got it! Assuming the Acu-Rites are well, accurate, then I think we've settled into a setup that will carry us through winter or until we set up a pvc enclosure.
We've got 2 acu-rites set up one each side with the probes in each hide. UTH and 100wt ceramic heat on the warm side supplementes by a 75wt infrared on the cool side (daytime only). The infrared and UTH both on med. Seemsblike a litnof heat for this enclosure but temps look good.
Temp ranges:
Warm side (day)
Hide 88°-93°
Ambient 81°-85°
Warm side (night)
Hide 88°-93°
Ambient 81°-85°
Cool side (day)
Hide 71°-73°
Ambient 77°-80°
Cool side (night)
Hide 69°-71°
Ambient 73°-75°
Temps fluctuate a couple of degrees based in house temps and heat running/not running plus pre/post misting.
Humidity still too low but we were able to hold in the 40s and 50s for most of the day after getting the substrate damp. It will no doubt drynout again today but we are going to be experimenting with a humidifier in the room.
Thanks to the community for all the guidance and help getting us squared away. Will be aure to get some pics up soon and keep you posted on our progress.
