OK timer and thermostats came in doing a test run basking spot has gotten up to 115 cool side is at 73 any suggestions to balance the two sides out. It's 71 degrees in my apartment. What should my humidity be?
CooperDragon":275dv94u said:115 is a *little high but not too bad. There is a nice gradient through the tank so I wouldn't worry about it if there are some good sized areas in the 100-105 range. I don't worry about humidity much unless your room feels humid to you. They survive in a wide range so humidity varies. Anything between about 20-60% is fine in general.
CooperDragon":n7zwkvdp said:Usually about 75-80 but that's just a general guide and the temps will fluctuate. My tank is at 103 and 74 right now but sometimes the cool side will drop to 70. I try to keep it between 70-73 overnight but above 65 is fine. The more important thing is to provide a good gradient so your dragon has options available. They're good at self regulating temperature and UVB exposure as they need it.
