Ok. I'm a BP guy. But I couldnt resist. '07 (sex unknown). Gorgeous animal. Feeding response is through the roof! Even when I'm not offering! lol. You know that fleshy space between your thumb and pointer finger is pretty freaking tender! Got it since it was a great deal and I had a spare unit. Anyway here's the deal.

It is housed in a 30 breeder. UTH reads 89-91 on top of substrate(Trex desert snow) inside hide. Ambient temps in room are about 72-74. Light hoods with xoterra 75 watt night glow bulbs for now. I hate overhead lights for heating but the setup is at the top of the shelving unit with racks below and it is too close to the A/C duct for my comfort IMHO. Cool side runs about 78-80. Driftwood, plasstic vines etc....

Questions.

Humidity usually stays around 45%-50%. Is this suitable?

Feeding. Adult mouse or appropriate size rat?
