That was when i first installed it. The temp is up to 89 and I have trouble keeping the humidity up. It was at 49% but I just misted it. It should be up to about 80% soon.

The dirt is still being broken up. It was sort of an emergency transfer. The dirt will be level when it is broken up. I’ll add more things to it soon. I really appreciate suggestions. This is my first time using HCA. BTW, I had 2 crabs, one of them died by either suffocating or being eaten. I’m not sure. Pumpkin is 2 1/2 years old. I got him for free from Facebook marketplace. I love him so much!!!

Can't see your photo, says I don't have access.
89 is a bit on the warm side for every day. If you bring the heat down a bit, does your humidity go up?

I have a 100 W bulb and it’s a 28 gallon tank. Pumpkin is most active at 90% + humidity. Should I get a lower wattage heat bulb? I also have a 50 W bulb with light that I turn on in the daytime, but I could replace it with a 25 W that I already have.
