Hi I wanted to share my baby’s current enclosure and maybe get some feed back on how I can improve! He currently lives in a 4 foot by 2 foot custom built wooden enclosure the inside is lined with plastic then a garden fabric to keep the moisture in along with a completely covered top! This gives me an average humidity of 85-95% so long as I mist twice a day! His basking area is where I’m having some troubles it’s still way to high at 112 Fahrenheit but I believe it’s because my lamp is way to close to the enclosure and have since been trying different distances and so far it’s improving! The ambient temperature is about 85 during the day and never below 80 at night. His bedding is cypress mulch (Zoo med forest floor) and he has plenty of hiding spots! For UVB I use the Reptisun T8 30inch hood and the 10.0 uvb bulb that goes with that. I have tried having this as a planted enclosure and always end up with gnats and mushrooms so unfortunately unless I get some help on that I was out of ideas and just moved the plants outside.![IMG_9119.jpeg IMG_9119.jpeg](https://data.www.tortoiseforum.org/attachments/355/355260-62a453d495e00c6d690ff80e44aa0b95.jpg)
