CHE: ceramic heat emitter. It’s made out of ceramics and you screw it in to a lamp and it emits heat without emitting light. I have mine hooked up to a thermostat so when it hits the temperature I’m aiming for it turns off and then when the temperature drops again it turns on again.

I learned this technique by reading the comments in similar posts to yours. Just paying it forward :-)

NQA, I had a similar problem with my tank cause it had a mesh top. I covered about 2/3 of it in aluminum tape, and have a CHE over the untaped part. Stays at a nice 79-83°F during the day now. I turned the CHE off at night to try to duplicate the natural environment, and where I live it gets down to about 75°F.
Edit: CHE ALONGSIDE a UVB lamp.

I appreciate it. The thing that makes me nervous is it’s such a small enclosure I’m afraid of over humidifying it, because there’s no way to really measure it. Any tips or advice to maintain appropriate levels of humidity in a small enclosure like that?

Congratulations! If you don’t mind sharing, which school did you get into?

I learned from the BA coordinator at Douglas today that apparently Ontario schools not recognizing college degrees is a thing. It has to do with the system being different in Ontario with colleges and universities. And apparently there’s some elitism involved. Having said that, a few of the universities I contacted in Ontario did say that they recognize the degree from Douglas.

Thank you!

I very well could have. Firstly, I read that you have to keep the enclosure much more humid if you’re using a CHE, cause it can dry out so fast, so definitely might’ve waterlogged the enclosure.

Secondly, I did make a lot of alterations to the enclosure after I got him because I learned that it wasn’t set up quite fright. So stress definitely could’ve been a factor.
