Thanks so much.

I only have one thermometer on the back wall dead center of the tank so I have no clue. Do I need another gauge?

I have a 60 gallon breeder tank that I'm keeping an adult male boxie in, I have the humidity where I want it (thanks to everyone here's help) but the temp is at 71 degrees F. I only have one heat lamp meant for basking at one end and a big 5.0 Reptisun UVB bulb on the other end. Heat basking...

Could you possibly share a pic of your tented enclosure so I have an idea on how it's done? I really like the idea of a tent considering there is a support bar running through the top of my tank making it near impossible to use a lid :(

Thank you so much I'll definitely start moistening that way instead of misting.

Thanks, I think I might have my warm and cool areas confused. On one side I have his basking light and his hide on forest floor/eco earth substrate. On the the other side I have his Uvb lamp and a decent sized paint tray as a waterer on eco earth/sphagnum moss substrate. Do I have this...

Thanks so much I'm really trying very hard to provide an ideal environment for this little guy. The only problem I'm having currently is keeping the humidiiy up :( even with this lid I made it doesn't stay up for long. At this rate I'll have to mist the enclosure 20 times a day :(

Yeah I'm also considering doing that as well, I just kind of threw that together just for the temporary.

I made a makeshift lid for the time being out of thick cardboard and it seems to be holding humidity decently now at 65-70%. I know it's not as good as a real lid but I think it's way better than before so thank you for recommending the lid. I just have one more question if you wouldn't mind...

The bulb is a Reptisun 5.0 in a deep dome.

Yeah I measured it today and It came out to be 18 by 48.

Ok thanks very much, what about for the UVB lamp? I was thinking of buying this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000QFRMRS/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20 thoughts?

Cutting holes through the foil? Or the screen?

Thank you so much, I really appreciate the advice I'm gonna look around online today.

I'm in Cleveland, I may be able to get a lid thanks for the info. What kind of lid would you recommend?
