[ptviperz]

My guy is in the low 70's for a cool spot and he uses it. ~105 for his basking spot.

88-90 sounds high to me.

 

[Magik]

I'd think anything in the 70's would be plenty. I live in florida so humidity isn't much of a problem. I dump his waterbowl under the heatlamp in the dirt, that way the soil stays a little moist and you get some evaporate from it. My guy sheds perfectly. If you notice him ready to shed might wanna use the spray bottle once a day to help humidity.

There is no top on my cage so ventilation is pretty high ;-)

i dont dump my water bowls in the substrate becaus my gu likes to urinate and poo in the water sometimes

Good reason, my guy (thankfully) doesn't do that.

 

[Magik]

Well I just spray it when it gets down but it hasnt dropped in days(humidity that is)

 

[Mvskokee]

how do you know your guy doesnt urinate in his bowl? i bought a mister from walmart like 10 to twenty bucks that they use to spray pesticides. of course its new so there are none in it. and it is the best investment i have made

 

[Kharnifex]
