It's actually pretty easy and it works! I built this for a Sulcata baby. See attached photos...

Cool Side = 80-ish
Basking Spot = 100-ish
Warm Side = 90-ish
Hiding Spot = 80-ish
Humidity % ranges from 80's to 90's


I bought a ZooMed Repti-Fogger but don't really need it. I just have to moisten substrate once daily and the heat inside the enclosure does the work at producing the humidity. The hiding spot is just a RubberMaid tub upside down. I have temp/humidity probe in the hide; stick-on guages in the enclosure; and I use a infrared thermometer to double-check the temps frequently.
