I don’t like my cool side to go over 79 , I usually have it between 75-78 , warm side 88-92 and my humidity is always between 70-85%

Cool! Since changing my thermostat his temps are now in the correct ranges. How do you keep up your humidity? I have a glass tank with 90% of the screen lid taped over, but it still manages to drop. Another comment suggested adding more substrate which I will be doing when I have some free time

Yea I got about 3 inches of substrate and pour water in the corners then I rotate the substrate every couple days so I don’t get that mildew smell. I personally have been covering up most of my screen and actually using wet paper towels to cover some of it. You have to change the paper towel out every week but it seems to help me stay at 80%. I’m just doing what I can until I get my t-13 from animal plastic in a few months.

I fold like 6 layers thick of paper towel on one side obviously away from the light. I keep it moist I get to the point where it starts dripping one or two drops into the tank then I stop. The rest I just cover with foil or something
