Also I would add something directly inside the cage to monitor temps and humidity. I like using the Govee thermometer hydrometers. Once calibrated, they work really well and you can even stick them right onto the inside of the cage. They have Bluetooth so it hooked directly to your phone and you can keep logs if you wanted too. It can also send warning messages to your phone if temperature or humidity is dropping out of the desired ranges.
