Hi Joe,
The lowest humidity reading is still in mid 90% range during the afternoon and the morning humidity before the lights come on is reading 99%.
Since I added the scroll fan to the hood my high temps have been 76 to 77 and that’s with the temp/humidity gauge in the upper front corner. That’s about just a degree or two warmer than the temps in the room during the day.
The low temp early in the morning is 67 to 69, it depends on how cool the nighttime temps in the room gets.
My house does not have AC and the heat is turned off until next winter, so the room temp changes 10 degrees or so from day to night. I live close enough to the ocean that daytime high temps normally run in the mid to upper 70’s during the summer. I think everything will be fine unless we get some scorching Santa Ana wind and the temps jump up into the 90’s or 100’s.
I have a 5-gallon water reservoir sitting on the floor, which is slowly, but constantly circulating water into and out of the viv. Since the water reservoir sits on a wood floor over a concrete slab I think my water temp will stay in the low 70’s, even during a heat wave. I hope that will help to regulate the viv temps, or at least provide some cool spots for the frogs to hangout during heat waves.
