My little guy got his new habitat updates today. Including auto sensing temperature and humidity gauge with timer light and edible decor šŸ˜Š

2ā€ coco coir bedding and layer of orchard bark with a coco coir exclusive dig down humid hide.

That double disc gauge is useless. If that's the only thing your using for temp and humidity replace it for a digital.
Also I can't tell if the uvb is going thru plastic? Uvb won't go thru plastic and if it's a mercury vapor bulb change it out for a tube florescent. The MVB is too intense and will cause pyramiding even with high humidity.

Don't melt the sides of your plastic tub. That is very easy to do!

Donā€™t worry all. The light is standard flood light. UVB isn't used! he gets 1-2 hrs of actual sun instead a week. The bulb you see doesnā€™t produce any heat its on average 79-85 in the tub. I have both a standard temp/humidity gague in there AND the double guage. It was more to make sure if I am not available his humidity stays at 75 minimum
