i have a 20 gal long hot side is like 89 and the cold sides like 80 i have one actual hide and then a piece of tree bark that is like a half log humidity is around 55 right now normally 50 during hotter part of the day. and one large water bowl in the middle of the tank this set up was fine for my female she had it exactly the same i just bought a 65 gal tank for her and bought her all new hides and everything. so i figured her cage would be fine for him.
