So, I have my set up for Louie today completed, for the most part, and am going to pick him up today.

after an hour and a half drive to the specialty shop.. They only had glass terrariums and thermostats not as nice as the Herpastat, so I may need to upgrade. The one I got, by exo terra is supposed to be able to be set with day and night temps, but doesn't seem to know its daytime.... So, I just set the night temp at 85, and it's now heating up. It also only has one probe, but I got a hygrometer that also reads temps and put that probe on the cool side of tank.

when I woke up this morning, it was a balmy 90% humidity in there, and I had to take some of the plastic wrap off the top screen cover. I'm wondering though if the reading is accurate. The way the tank is set up, the probe sits behind the background... Not sure that makes much difference.

one thing that worries me, is not keeping him warm enough, but cool enough. I don't have AC, so during heatwaves in the summer, it can get pretty hot in the house. I haven't seen it over 85 in the house this summer, but, it could be a problem.

and it does get humid here.
