Such a pretty pac! In my limited experience with pacs, they can become stressed rather easily and will refuse food. I suggest you get plants (either real or fake) to create a more natural looking environment and maybe someplace for him to hide. Also, keeping the temp very stable is preferable. I had a lot of trouble with humidity, even with plastic wrap on the top. I ended up not using an incandescent bulb because of how badly it dried out the enclosure. I was using a UTH (under tank heater) stuck on the side of the tank. The problem with those is that I find them to be horribly unreliable. Unfortunately my poor little pac died before I could work out all the kinks. Poor little guy just was never healthy from the time I got him. My suggestion for humidity would be to get a second dish of water and put it directly under the lamp so that the water evaporates into the tank. And I totally agree with Heather, make sure you stir up the substrate every few days so that bacteria doesn't build under all of the cocofiber. Good luck!
