So over the recent weekend I moved my 18 month old ish RF into his new 5ft x 3ft enclosure.
It's a Pro-plast plastic vivarium from pro-vivs here in the UK.

Seems to be holding temp and humidity with ease, 27 - 29 degrees Celsius, 80 - 85% humidity.

I have done some landscaping, he / she seems to be enjoying it, exploring and moving from hide to hide.

I should add there is only the main lamp on at the moment.

Does it look ok?

Greetings....those temp/humidity sensors are notorious for giving out poor unreliable readings. You might want to upgrade to a digital temp sensor that has a probe that can be placed closer to tort level.

One brand thst people use is called AccuRite .

Good luck, happy torting.

I have 4 digital sensors which are placed around the enclosure and appear to be relatively close to each other in terms of their readings so I think it will be fine

It looks good. I have recently changed from the Mercury Vapor Bulbs to the tube type fluorescent bulbs for UVB. I like them a lot better in a closed situation like yours.
