Ok, everything in my set up has been working for a couple of days now and I wanted to run everything past you all first just to get some feedback before I get the occupant this coming weekend.

I will be picking up a '06 ball. He will be starting off in a 10 gal for the first several months to year. Here's my list: under tank heating pad running through a thermostat, aspen bedding, hide on cool side, hide on warm side, water hide in the center, two branches for climbing, screen lid weighted down, small overhead clamp light resting on screen lid. (Branches do not get very close to location of lamp.)

Temps: I have about 88 on the warm side, and the cool side seems to hover around 78. The natural humidity in the room/tank seems to be sitting around 40% right now.

So, suggestions on getting humidity up higher? Also, should I try and get my cool side cooler?

Thanks for your feedback and suggestions!
