i think the new hogg i got might have an RI. i,ve read before in the forum to decrease humidity and raise temps. what temp should i set her tank at, the hot side is currently 90 and cool in the low 80's. she is not cool to the touch and has a slight wheez when she breaths. i'll try this for a couple days if not i need to find a reptile vet in my area but i dont think thats there is any.

Raise the ambient temp to 90. If it's a minor RI this should take care of it in short order.

I'd raise the basking to 100, but leave the cool side in the mid 80's. No night time drops, but allow it to get dark.
I doubt a reptile vet is too far away unless you're rural, in which case you're used to driving.
