Hello all! I have probably changed the enclosure 7 times since I got him. I did a lot of reading on everything and I think I finally have it right (for now anyway). This is how the top was until this afternoon.

I closed it fully with foil for now until we can cut the top to get rid of the foil. This is what it looks like now. In the 40 min since I put the foil the humidity on the hot side went up to 90%. For some crazy reason my pics won't load. I will try on another entry. I have also gotten rid of the dial type hygrometer. I have a mercury vapor bulb and a Che with a thermostat set to 95. He has 2 hides. The cool side is 75 degrees. The top is covered with left over siding from the outside of the house. It's not metal I just can't think of what it is called. The end opposite the lights is a plastic "grid" used for fluorescent lights. I have it to make it easier to feed him. That is why the towel is there. I am using coco coir and cypress mulch. Thanks for looking.

Looks like you did good. Just one thing, I would not let the temp any place get below 80 day and night. Humid and cool/cold causes RI. Hot and humid does not.

I increased the thermostat before bed when checking the humidity. Thanks! The humidity is 95% and temp 85 on the cool side.
