I've got 2 thermo-hygrometers on each end of the tank mounted on the back glass just above the substrate.

one on hot side gives me 89*-90* @ 45% cold one is at 80*-82* % 60%

UTH @ 93*-95* on the inside of the glass, just below the substrate.

and a 150W black bulb overhead, screen is not covered or anything, free flowing.

is this ideal?

also how long before he wanders into his hides on either side? I've been kind of in his cage alot to help get the ideal conditions for him, Not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Thanks.
