me + iZ are in the midwest where it gets a heck of alot colder than that!

he used to have his enclosure in our livingroom and we used a heat lamp to raise the temp in the enclosure to 85 and had a cool mist humidifier rigged to 'pipe in' the extra humidity ...

now he has his own room ... we have forced-air heat + that keeps his room at about 75 degrees ... then, i took the door off the closet + replaced it with plastic mesh and put one of those electric heaters that look like the old-time radiators in there to keep his room temp at about 85 degrees ... during the day there is a heat lamp aimed at one end of his favorite shelf for a basking spot that's a bit warmer ... have the cool mist hudimifer running 24/7 ... he also has a heated water 'bowl' (8"x10") that has a bubbler in it so that helps with humidity too ...

zat help???
