AP Cage Questions

[Commandokev]

I thought I'd just post in this thread instead of making a brand new one since it pertains to the same enclosure. I've been searching the past few days for an answer seemingly to no avail.

Second, humidity. I've read threads that say the T8 holds humidity well and others it doesn't hold it well at all. Assume the home isnt a greenhouse...does the T8 hold humidity or not?

Thanks much.

To give you some perspective. I have two T8's stacked on top of each other. My house on average is about 72-73F and about 45-50% humidity (South Carolina). I only use the 12"x12" Flexwatt for the hot side, a fluorescent light and a large water bowel in each cage. My temperatures are 89-90 over the UTD and about 82-83 on the opposite side, with my Herpstat 2 set to about ~103F. My humidity sits at about 62-65% with no spraying or misting machines at all. The only time I spray is during shed and I do that once a day which keeps the humidity at ~75%.

If you are looking for better ambient temperature control I would look into RHP instead of using UTH along the entire tank. It would be more efficient and reliable.
