You should build it up a little more, in case it drops any more.

i'd say try and higher it if you can. 70-80 is best (although i usually recommend 72-78 F becuase of what some other sites say about it, i just pick what is in between). I can't really get my temp. to stay balanced. I am saving up $$$ for a UTH.

Well the odd part is it increases about to 68 to 69% on the humidity gauge when I turn the fan on so I try to keep it on. :)

Do you have a glass tank? They hold humidity and temperature better than any other. Wrap is okay, but a glass lid is much better and cleaner.

idk wht my humity is cuz i just got a hermy 2 dayz ago and im gettin things tomor for it like sand i have gravel now.Im gettin a reptile thermomter,repile tank hygromter or Humity gauge
Right now i just have a small piece of plastic wrap on the part where the fliter is (i have a fish tank) n i have a half inch open part so it can have some Feash air and the tank has a top. I have a fish light on top tht gives off a lil heat i keep tht on for 2 hours n then shut it off for 30 or so min n then turn it off at night around 7 i rap the tank with a blanket idk if tht helps though n Leave the light on and then at night ill get up shut it off and then get up again n Turn it on and then get up n turn it off and then turn it on b4 i go to school. n then turn it off for 2 hours when i get bak from school. my mom is gettin a sponge and spray bottle tonight b4 i took a piece of paper towel n wipe the inside down 3 or so times a day,
