Along with the humity issue, I am having heating issues as well. I can seem to keep the humidity around 70-73%, so I hear that's ok. The problem is that I have a 55 gal. aquarium, glass, with fiberglass covers. I use terra-soil substrate, b/c I've heard they're burrowers. The large cobra mat doesn't seem to heat the hot side up enough, maybe 80-81 degrees on a good day. I removed the fiberglass from one side, covered most of it with a towel, and then set a dome light with a 60 watt light bulb on top of the cage and bunched the towel around the lamp. That did nothing, so I replaced the 60 watt with a ceramic heater bulb, thinking that more heat was needed. The temp still didn't rise a noticeable amount. I'm sorry for asking such a newbie question, b/c I'm not that new. I just can't figure it out on my own. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
