How can I improve my enclosure?

[Chiyou]

Hi, I've had my Bearded Dragon for about 3 months now. She doesn't move much when she's in the terrarium when i take her out she's pretty active and fast to move around. I keep her basking spot around 105-110 degrees and the humidity down (where her basking spot is) to 35-40%. However the rest of the terrarium is much harder to manage, the other side of the tank gets to 60% and 72 degrees. I mounted the UVB light within the tank to help her get some of the light from it. Any ideas on how I can improve my set up?

You want cool side around 80 during the day and not below 65 at nite- you said you moved the UVB -- what brand and bulb ? tube or coil?

yeah bulb is okay, i got the 10.0 hood bulb. More concerned about the humidity variation within the terrarium.

I live on the west coast in Vancouver so i'm not sure if that's why its happening

Your in a humid climate---- the 60% is ok -- when it starts getting 70 or higher then I would start to worry or so they say-- you can always invest in a dehumidifier and put it in the room she is in

Yeah I have a small/cheap dehumidifier running, hoping that will help make her comfortable thanks for the help!
