Start studying some care sheets. We'll be happy to help you out, but you need to start with the basics of husbandry.
Than ask questions about what you're unsure of.
I did quite a bit, however this was more trial and error. I read you can use ceramic heat emitters and so I bought one rated at 8 inches away for 92 degrees. Didn’t really realize that for a ten gallon tank it pretty much makes the entire tank hot. Currently our AC is broke in our house so the ambient temperature is around 82ish degrees and 50-60% humidity, so I think I’m just going to leave her CHE off for now until I can get heat tape and a proper thermostat. For some reason my account says I am unable to post pictures, but her tank looks really nice and the cypress mulch holds humidity well especially on the cool end. Looks like I’ll be making a trip to the local pet shop tomorrow!
