    Re: Too much humidity and Temp?

    I've gave you my advice bro my temps haven't waivered at all the last week. 93 hot side, 85 middle tank and 78 cool side with humidity always between 55 and 60%. I used the putting damp towels over some of the screen advice that someone gave me on here and it's worked great.

    how do you provide belly heat in a melamine cage or do you not have too. Keep in mind I use newspaper as my substrate.

Well I normally put a piece of fiberglass over the top to keep humidity in but I am getting too much heat and humidity and I have my light that gives the majority of the heat on low as possible [using a thermostat] I took off about half the fiberglass so it goes like this.. openair..fiberglass..light[also a little open air]...

    currently my temps are this

    Hot side: 89.2 with 50% humidity
    Cool side: 81.7 with 49% humidity



    Again this is on the lowest possible setting and if I shut it off it will just drop pretty rapidly, Maybe take the entire fiberglass off and deal with it like that? My room is REALLY hot because I also have a leo tank [fine temps and humidity there] If I open the window it sort of really sucks everything out..

    any advice?



    Everything looks good but if you want to lower your temp just lower your bulb wattage.
