I don't have the cheap round stick on humidity gauge - ok, I do have them, but I don't rely on them! I got a combination digital thermometer/hygrometer with probes from Big Apple Herp. It's very accurate and not super expensive for how fabulous it is.



My ambient humidity in the room is about 50%, and it's hard enough to keep the number down in the uro tank. I would be very afraid that if I covered it to keep soil more moist, it would end up perfect for the soil, but too humid for the uros. Ah, dilemas.



My new thought is to do a halfsies tank with half of it covered and with soil for burrowing, and the other half for basking, eating, etc. I've seen a couple people mention tubes/pipes leading to separate bins (Ingo?) with different mediums, too. Thoughts?



Thanks!!
