Hi everyone,
After so much advice I finally feel like I’m getting things right for my little Eric (1 year old Horsefield) I now have a basking light which underneath is 35 degrees and is on a 12 hour timer. I have UV strip light which is on a 4 hour timer and I have a CHE attached to a thermostat on 23 degrees for overnight and they are all working well. I have changed the substrate to co co coir and orchid bark which has increased humidity. I have changed the water bowl to a terracotta pot saucer too. The only issue I have now is the condensation build up on the glass and I’m worrying about his little chest as I know that they can get respiratory issues. Please give help on this?

Thanks

The condensation is because you have good humidity in there.
As long as temps are correct it shouldn't be a problem.
However, those puck like gauges are not reliable and should be changed to digital.
