I've got to find a way to UP the humidity in Kronks new enclosure.
I only have newspaper down and loose hay over it for now- but I have ordered coco coir and am waiting for it...
107°/40% under his basking lamp
87°/58% under his UVB
71°/68% throughout my house

Closed chamber. Read Toms threads below for the proper info.

A Closed chamber will help control temps and humidity to where u want it. Or a cheap and easy fix is foil paper on top.

I wouldn't increase your humidity yet. Not while using the newspaper and hay substrate..
Once you get the right substrate, add a cover. You'll be surprised at the difference it makes ;)

Thanks So Much! I am waiting for my coir to arrive. I will need an overall humidity level of 80%, correct?
I like that range and it's results, yes.

That's also why I suggested you wait. 80% RH would mold your hay and cause a soggy, ink-y mess with the newspaper.
