so how exactly should i stop ventilation, my tank has a screen top =( and i keep an infared light and a UTH on a rheostat on the lowest setting. ill find a way to lower the temps a lil more but my main concern in humidity. how should i cover everything while still using the light? or should i take the light off completely and just leave the UTH???? i use the light to keep an ambient temp in the mid to high 70's and obviously her hot spot is in the 80's i try to keep them lower than 87, sometimes its tricky tho...i try to acheive microclimates i kno it may be a lil drier up top but as u dig in the enclosure it gets more humid and a lil more damp....its all deep enough for her to dig herself down....



i really appreciate the care sheet and humidity 101 i will definetly print both of ur care sheets out and guide myself by that...i would just like to kno how to cover my tank.



PS ill get started on that hide box...but should it be on her cool side or the hot side? or does it even matter?
