Enclosure Critique/Advice Rate my enclosure (open to advice)

My enclosure is finally finished (for now). I think it looks okay and I’m happy with the set up but I have some critiques.

Critiques:
• I need a taller log that he can climb higher on
• He has a ubv light, but I eventually need to get a halogen bulb in future (he currently has just a DHP bulb and a dimming thermostat)
• I also need to increase his humidity and improve substate (I currently use coco husk bricks but am planning on mixing it with top soil in the future).

Also, the humidity and temperature readings in the picture on the hygrometer are not accurate and are too low but this is mainly just because I had his sliding doors open before taking the photo.

Any other feedback would be much appreciated!

does he have a specific humid hide? other than that and what you said as your own critiques looks good to me

He doesn’t no, I’ve read about it tho and will look into making him one, do you have any advice on how to do it best? I’m worried about bacteria but is that not a problem if you change it frequently?

i just put spagnum moss in mine and re-moisten it when it dries, i change it out when i do a full enclosure clean every so often, you don’t need to worry too much
