This is one of the downsides of a CHE, that and the humidity issues they can sometimes cause. Like El Ziggy I prefer RHPs, and this is coming from someone who's only been using one for a couple of months. It's just so much easier to maintain things inside a PVC enclosure with one. That being said, I have been bouncing the idea around of trying some different bulbs out on my leopard gecko's enclosure, just to see if I get in positive behavioral changes. I've looked at blue bulbs for daytime heat, still prefer either red or a low wattage CHE for night time, but I'd like something a little easier on his eyes than a white lamp, so I might end up trying out blue.
