New setup

[bruster]

Recently I moved my pacman from a tupperwear to a 10 gal aqurium I recently fond at my moms. I cover a section of the top with plastic wrap and added a heat pad to the bottom. I've noticed that a lot of you have heat pads on the sides of the tank. Is this better? Also having some issues with humidity being low. I have eco-earth as substrate, it is not dry but it is not soaked. any suggestions?

The saran wrap should help with your humidity issues, that's what I have on my 10 gallon screen top tank to try to help keep the levels up. Do you mist the tank? You must considering the spray bottle there.

Yes I mist just about every day. I did get a larger heat pad today from my brother. The one I had was small and I got it from petsmart in the frog starter kit they sell.

Putting the heat pad underneath will dry out the substrate, and block much of the heat getting past the substrate.

So it is better to have the bad on the back side then.

Some people think so, yes.
