I'm getting really confused between conflicting info .... HELP !
I'm moving my year old leopard from tortoise table to an enclosed vicarious with a hide .
Could someone experienced tell me is the following correct regarding heat and humidity :

In the Hide : 80% humidity and temperature 80-85degrees
In the rest of vivarium humidity 50% and daytime temp 82-86, night 78-84 degrees.
Basking lamp temp underneath 88-92 degrees .

Also would I move him straight into here from the table or will the humidity be a shock ?

Thank you so much

I don't allow my babies' enclosures to get below 80F at night.

Any move you give them is stressful, but he soon gets used to it.

Humidity all over should be 80% with temps all over 80 except basking spot of 95-100.

Here are my opinions on how they should be housed and at what temperatures:
