please help! What should my CORRECT ambient air be at?

[htx.lea]

It's a struggle keeping temps and humidity correct, which is why I ordered a PVC enclosure to help me out, not suggesting you do the same, just saying I got tired of constantly worrying about it. I had a very similar experience to you when I first brought my guy home, and quickly realized if you go to 10 different sites looking for temp and humidity guidelines, you'll find 10 different answers. The crew on BP.net have talked me off a few ledges when it comes to being concerned over what my parameters are like.

It's just as bad with other animals as well, I keep crested and leopard geckos and you'll find all kinds of different info about husbandry for them.

well the only issue I’ve heard about glass tanks are concerning humidity but I live in Texas, our humidity is 70+ year round. I didn’t have to do anything for my humidity, it’s been a constant 60. I’ll have to raise it for when he’s in shed but it shouldn’t be that big of a deal. I was just worried about my ambient air temperature which I’m seeing is okay for what it’s at. I was just making sure since I didn’t realize I hadn’t done much research on what temp it should be at.

I think you're doing fine. You're lucky on the humidity front, the humidity here in GA in my snake room is 40% so it's a battle for me with glass tanks. Luckily, again thanks to BP.net, I found a few guides on how to alter tops and have gotten a good system worked out. Glass also doesn't hold heat AS well as I'd like, but again as long as you're keeping an eye on everything I think you're okay.

You did plenty of research as well, don't cut yourself short. I think you just walked into that "10 sites, 10 answers" issue that I ran into and then panicked, which I also did lol. I'm slowly learning that the parameter requirements for these guys to be healthy and "happy" are much easier to stay within than what some of the folks over on Reddit and other sites lead you to believe.
