That is a pretty good temp range. I would definatly keep the cool side down in the mid 70's.
The humidity needs to be on the high side but not too high. I would not worry about a number but just keep the taiwan in a cage without too much air movement with a LARGE water bowl. If it's in a cage with a screen top I would cover all but a little on each end for circulation. Randy
