What are you using to heat right now? What are the temps of the room they are housed in? Ambient temps of the outside air can affect your cage as well.



I'm having a similar problem with my new cage. I use a radiant heat panel on the roof, but it's winter and the room temp is in the low 70's right now. With the thermostat on high, I still can only heat the hot side to 86 degrees and the humidity is 55-60%.



I do like the RHP's. This is my first experience with them and they seem so much better than lights for my snake. I have a 12 ft albino burm. Some days he would spend half the time covering his eyes with his coils as if he was trying to escape the harsh light, especially close to shedding. Lights are also more drying.



Just a thought....
