Temps/Humidity
You can never have two many threads when it comes temperature and humidity... My question involves heating devices. After moving my melinus to the new enclosure, I installed a 60 watt CHE. This device was much too hot for the 40 gallon she started in, but I assumed it might even fall short in a 4x2x4 cage. Still, it seems that it is too hot and I have moved back to a 60 watt ''red night'' light. This is located in the dead center of the enclosures ceiling, next to a 60 watt UVA/AB which does put off some heat as well. There is also a tight beam basking light in the enclosure as well as an alternate 60 flood that I toggle on and off if needed (less gradient, more direct sun spots and heat). Do you guys find these CHE to be a bit much without rheos or thermos?
Regarding the humidity, I may be following the intentions of my OCD too closely, but Joanna through her thermo/hygro into the water bowl recently, and it is now partially working. This scares me as it seems humidity reads 50-59% (the single digit lcd is broken). I will be buying a new gauge soon, but I am not sure what else I can do as I am afraid the door seam is allowing too much to escape. It is the only vented part of the cage, but it is a must else the door will not open and close properly.
