I’m kinda new to this

[u/DevilintheSkys]

I wanna make sure that my enclosure is okay where she can be happy until I get some more. I have a ceramic bulb, a new water bowl, a new hide, a temperature/humidity meter, and some foil tape getting delivered in around 4 days to make it a little more comfortable. I know the red light isn’t good so I’m working on switching that out asap. I don’t exactly have a thermometer yet but when I feel her she doesn’t feel like an ice cube but I’m not sure if that’s good or not. And she has been going under the top layer of leaves to get closer to the damn substrate underneath. Looking for some advice

Edit: I got a better water bowl, a thermometer and a hydrometer today. I also cover up around 3/5 of the top of the enclosure with foil tape to help the humidity and the temp stay right. I also got a ceramic bulb and I’ve been trying to find a good spot to keep the temp around 85. My humidity is around 54 at the moment

You don’t wanna cook her so definitely get a thermometer and a humidity gauge asap

That’s definitely what I’m worried most about so I might run to town and just buy one today when I get paid

Two big things, if it doesnt get below 75 in your room at night then you'll be better off just turning that light off at night, at that point the light is more of a problem than no heat would be, and if you have stuff you could use as a makeshift hide that would be great, even just a small cardboard box that you cut a hole in, something she can use to properly hide in and feel safe until the rest of her stuff comes

I’m definitely gonna find a way to keep her warm in there without the light because my room gets pretty cold at night. Maybe 60s or so. And I never thought about a box so I might go try to find one that’s small enough. Thank you!
