$30 bucks at walmart. Pans are kinda tricky with the temp in a gh. A tub in tub is optimal. I do wish you good luck though. Also Ive had success with a heat lamp from the reptile store.

well personally for your situation I would recommend getting an impeller cool mist humidifier and keeping your radiator(more even heat, and probably less drying, might fare better in high humidity).
keep the humidifier on the outside of your GH and it will keep humidity up and provide great FAE.
the humidifier you'll want is ~$20

well today the heat in the GH is back to around 80 after deciding to turn on both heat lamps and have a fish tank heater in my fogger on the side so the RH is at 87 give or take
BUT the problem still is am i going to run into problems during night time when the temp will go down to like 76-78 in there?

I've returned many a thing at Wal-Mart and if they try and give you shit just remember that they are mostly idiots and if you make a fuss they'll do pretty much anything you want. Hell, I'm returning a CVS humidifier to Wal-Mart on Monday since it died on me and we had to get the replacement from Wally World. Doubt they'll even flinch.

lol yeh i told my mom the other day when returning something after the lady explained some people put bricks in boxes and return them my mom said thats awful i said why? the woman handling the returns doesnt get punished, the wal mart already made its money anyway and even if they didnt wal marts a dick so it doesnt matter needless to say my moms a more of an optimist than i am lol
with the 2 ceramic heaters though, im wondering if ill run into problems with blowing the circuit it's going to be a little tricky running 2 ceramics at the same time and finding different outlets for them i could use 1 with an extension cord but they warn not to use one and if u have to then use a 15 rated 1875 watt one which i have but i dont know how dangerous it is to run if i cant watch it all the time

since all my stats are on par now during the day all i have to do is worry about keeping that area warm and cozy now during the night
id still really like to know if anyone has some advice on whether temp drops during the night to as low as 76 will be devastating being that from my experience pins start out at night
