[QUOTE="Sbirtell1, post: 208602, member: 38085"] Winter has been brutal here by me. And I know everyone said T’s are highly adaptable to our environment. But what is considered too much of something, or too little (say heat/humidity wise). Sorry for a lot of questions, I skimmed through the forums and couldn’t find directly what I was looking for. And well google….it’s google with the same general care for specific T’s That I’m well aware of. I guess what I’m trying to say is even with the heat being on, I’ve seen the room temp drop down to 68. I’ve kept my girl within the ambient temps for her specific type of T. I still got paranoid so I picked up a heating pad for one side (been keepin the temp around 85 with a thermometer/probe). She use to be in that area huddled up against the glass under the log hide. Now she seems more relaxed under that hide with the UTH. I have another hide on the cool end for her if she wanted to thermoregulate. But with the heat pad, it bumped up the humidity in to the 90’s. The coco fiber bedding has been staying moist and not drying out. Is that ok or will the constant wetness cause issues? Again you all are amazing, thanks for being there for us newbs. Lol [/QUOTE]
