    Sorry, I missed that question. It's in my last paragraph of my initial post. The RHP is connected to a Herpstat 2. I bought the Herpstat 2 because I eventually intend to hook up some heat tape to supplement the RHP. I already have the heat tape. I just need to build something to elevate the enclosure off the floor a bit.

    Whoops, sorry. I thought I reread thoroughly but missed it in that last paragraph.
    As for your humidity issue. I also use coco chips and find they hold humidity longer if used in a thicker substrate layer.

    What I did yesterday was re-wet a section of the coco fiber which seems to have helped. Humidity has stayed in the mid 50's since then. So I likely just need to re-wet the substrate every so often which makes sense.
