[QUOTE="Denny Dee, post: 42658, member: 1393"] I live in the midwest and have the same problem with humidity in the winter. My room average is right around 30% with the humidifier. This requires more misting/watering than Spring Summer. If you are using a heat lamp, that is even worse. There are other heat options that would work better including heat tapes, pads (read other threads on the proper installation and sizes to ensure your T does not overheat) and whole room heaters. The heat lamps are extreme and will dry out any tank very quickly. I use them on my desert tanks where temps are closer to 85-90 in the species native environment but use timers to only run for a few hours per day. Would not recommend them at all for a [I]P. metallica[/I]. Sorry for your loss. [/QUOTE]
