I follow the lighting outside and my herp room has a digital timer on all the lighting to mimic the natural light pattern here in the Midwest. At the longest, I think the list is around 14-15hrs and the shortest around 9-10hrs. Humidity is only slightly increased, I do lots of water changes during the winter to keep up with the evaporation. I really only increase the water tub size for my girls. The boys, well, they don't need much stimulation....
