Right now, I have humidity levels around 60% with a low temperature of 78 degrees Fahrenheit and a high temperature of 82. I have two more CHEs on order. I may not need both, and I'm increasing the amount of time my misting system runs. I'll see how that affects things. I have some more plants to put inside and have wheat grass seeds on order.

All that and I've added a "Beware of the Tortoise" sign.
I switched my two heat lamps so that the CHE was closer to the center and not so close to the greenhouse wall. The low temp is now 80 degrees Fahrenheit, the high side 91, and the humidity at 55%. I guess I don't need two new CHEs right now, but I imagine you can't have too many spare bulbs. Maybe one CHE hooked up to the dimmer switch. I'll find out how the extra misting works tomorrow.

My two greenhouses came in today, with my bracket lights. Thanks for the inspiration!

I put in some more plants and heating/lighting.

I've put baby's name up. His/her name is going to be "Rowan," which is Gaelic for "little redhead." I think that's perfect for a baby cherryhead.

The basking spot is still too hot, around 104 degrees Fahrenheit. So I've ordered a dimmer switch. My humidity is still too low (60-70% depending on how close to the ground it is). My additional coco noir still hasn't arrived. I've upped my misting times again. I'll see how much that helps later today.
