Cool side: 78-81 degrees, 51-71% humidity, 66-67 degrees inside air temp

I have two sets of Thermometer/Humidity gauges and the readings are taken about an inch above the substrate.

My only concern is that the inside air temp might be a tad low. The room stays about 68-70 degrees. I could add an auxiliary heater to warm it up some. I have no light on the top and have found that placing a couple of wet sponges on the screen top does wonders for the humidity. And then the screen is covered by a towel.

So what am I missing? Thanks
Yeah that ambient air is quiet low. I’d recommend getting a heater or CHE to help with that, however the CHE will suck humidity out. Instead of having a towel over the top you could always over it with foil and leave about a 1/4 of the top uncovered. That helps with humidity as well as keeping the tank a tad bit warmer. Did you insulate the outside of the cage walls by any chance?
