I guess the tape just smells like adhesive lol.

Ok, I'll just leave the Acurite on the ground.

His belly is not red or pink, I tried to take a pic and you can't really tell. I will try to keep the substrate wet for the next week and see if that helps.

Should I put the hides back in there? I took them out because they have clear packing tape on them. I just ordered 2 plastics hides but I don't think they will get here until next week.

The tin foil wrapped cardboard for the top is a great idea!!! I will do that tonight. The 40% was because I had the lid off for so long adjusting stuff earlier. The humidity is staying like 60-75% until I take the cardboard pieces off. The temp on the cool side is about 75 right now.
