I'm sorry, I'm just so used to every single person telling me that it's too small, or that I'm doing something else entirely incorrectly. Feeling defensive atm.
Dwright27...I'm new to the forum and feel your pain as I purchased a Leopard tort in February and have spent countless hours and money trying to get my enclosure with correct temps and humidity. I also have a 36" X 18" breeder aquarium and finally have my temps and humidity under control . The hide box stays in the 85% humidity and the ambient stays between 70% and 80%. I have a 36" zoo med light fixture across the top of the tank along the back for UV lighting. I use coroplast (6mm thickness) ( plastic used for signs) that covers the entire top of the aquarium and butts up against zoo med 36" light fixture thus covering the top completely. I have a CHE in a doom fixture hanging on one side from a stand and on the other side a 35 watt bulb in a dome fixture hanging from a stand for basking. I cut holes in the coroplast the size of the dome fixtures diameter so the lights hang about a 1/4" above the coroplast. This keeps the humidity in. Pour water in the corners of the aquarium to create the humidity. Use a thermostat on the CHE to maintain the temp. You may have already solved your humidity issue but I wanted to share this with you. hope you good luck
