Hi Dave,

Some how I knew you would be the one to ask about the top lol.

I have hade it both ways. When I seal about 70% of it the whole encloser gets condensation. I think it is due to me keeping the humidity hight in my house as I also collect cigars.
I am currently keeping her cage at about 6 1/2 feet off the ground (prevents the little ones from messing with her). This is keeping the temp on the hot side about 83 and about 76 on the cool side. I threw in a spare humidity sensor on the cold side without the top being covered and its around 85%. With the top covered it gets closer to 95%. and the temp goes up about 3-4 degree's. Also the shelf above her cage is only gives about 2 inches of room.

I know that as an adult she will not need as much hummidity but she does need more now. Would you say she is fine without it covered or should I sacrifice being able to see in. My goal is whatever is best for her.

I also change out her watter dish dayly and rewet the paper towel in her hide box at the first sign of drying out. Here is a pic of her in her hidebox.

Anyone else who would like to give feed back is more than welcome.

PS Her shed was one solid peice.
