I don't rely on the hygrometers too much, but I believe my red ackies cage is around 65% in the middle. It will be much dryer under the basks and wetter on the cool end. I just go for slightly moist dirt down below with a dry crust. The animals will go where they need to be if they have choices. You can see the dry to moist in this clutch that I dug up today. I got 6 eggs only one month after she laid 4. She's still under a year old, too. Holy prolific, Batman:


A 6 foot bathtub is a good waterproof base for a cage (unless you have to move it). Do you have pics of the cage?
