I changed the glass to a very strong rubber screen , and added grouted tile . . also added bird sound to help keep him from getting bored .

I guess his ear is okay now?
How are you controlling the humidity and heat with a a screen front??

Looks like he has a relatively strong humidifier/fogger positioned above the soak tub.

yes you are right , i have one of these .

So, really you are heating and humidifing the entire room from the animals cage.
hopefully he stands where the vapor and heat come out.

I have heat in both . He gets heat from the 100 watt megaray and a and a 50 watt Halogen bulb and a 100 watt CHI on 24 hours . Then a oil filled heater keeps the room at 79 - 81 . The humidifier will keep his cage and room at 55 /- during the day and 65-75 at night , set on medium . and i have a small fan that rotates circulating the air in the room . The temps are perfects in his cage . If in need to i can add glass to half his cage . on very cold/dry days, i do that too .

The tip turned ata45 deg angle when i got him back from the vet . I was pissed !!
