Glass on one side and a cardboard box on the other side because the heat bulb is in a dome fixture which is in the way of me being able to put the lid on it.

Will do, thank you!

I've been able to maintain the humidity level at 70% during the day using a humidifier. I soak him for about 5-15min a day. Am I supposed to do something at night? It drops to 70-76 degrees, no humidifier, heat lamp is off. I just keep a small heating pad on the side of the tank (a hermit crab...

Thank you everyone for your help. I really appreciate it! I want to keep my little guy healthy! So I bought a Zoo Med T5 5.0 High Output light. If I have it mounted inside of the tank, it will be 13in (or less if I add more substrate), is this ok? I could mount it higher to get that *15in away*...

Thanks! Ok, so I'll buy a T5 uvb bulb and more substrate, but how many inches away should it be? Oh, it's actually mounted inside the tank, not on top, so it doesn't have to go through a screen.

My sulcata hatchling has to be kept indoors, can someone send me a direct link (to Amazon, Petco, PetSmart, etc.) for what uvb light I should purchase for the tank? I know to get a tube light as opposed to a coil, but there are so many options out there. Please help.
