Just wondering if this is alright?, why is she staying in the cold side? could something be wrong with her or does she not want to be warm. Surface temp is great and ambient temp is 85-90, humidity I'm still struggling with so far but I do my best to keep it 50 and above. But yeah just want to know if everything's alright, thanks in advance.
Just a hint, to keep in humidity I use aluminum foil above the tank (I have a regular 40 gal (?) Tank. I cover that with a towel and a blanket. And it holds in heat and humidity perfectly. Try not to put anything wet on top, as it could rust the lid.
