Grr darn Humidity

[froggielog]

Okay so i have a live plant, a mistking going about a 1-2 every 2 or so hours and then i have a dripper, but my humidity levels still show 45-59% Should i be using warm water?
Also I'm getting my baby soon and my basking temps read 82, should i lower that for the baby?
Thanks!

humidity sounds good, temp could be just a tiny bit lower like 80 for basking..and i use a small fish tank heater in my resivior (50 watt on full blast)..that way the mist isint totally cold..

Its difficult to maintain humidity levels here in TX but for panthers what you have now is fine. If you were keeping a montane species you would want to bump up the RH a little higher. Sound like you have your parameters in the right range for your new baby. If you wanted to get the humidity levels a little higher you can cover the sides of your screen cage with plastic. I use 3/4 foamboard for that purpose when I need to have a higher humididty.
