That's exactly what I do. My guys are all in a closed spare bedroom that has the vent closed off, and the room averages 82-84 degrees. It works well.

Repeat:


I had tanks in the past, and I used a UTH in combination with a 75w red lightbulb (Exo-Terra I believe). I had both of them plugged into a ReptiTemp 500R thermostat and with having the thermostat's probe right next to the thermometer's probe on the warm side, everything was perfect. As for humidity, switch to something like shredded coconut husk (the kind that comes in a compressed brick). It holds moisture very well and you only have to mist every 3-4 days or so. Plus it's 100% natural and safe to feed on, if any gets ingested it breaks down in the stomach just like food. I covered almost the entire screen top in 3 layers of tinfoil and 2 layers of black duct tape. This kept heat and humidity in very well, I only had to mist every 3-4 days.

I made a thread with pics about all that stuff, check it out:
