Could my heated terrarium cause tall skinny fruits?

I have a heat cable running through perlite with sitting water. The cakes are usually warm to the touch, and ever since I enforced this setup, my fruits have been pretty poor, the humiditys always high and the temp is around 85 F. And its getting enough light and fae. any thoughts?

Your heats a little high,if you can get it back to 75 or so that would be better.Your tall skinny fruits are more than likelt caused by lack of FAE and lighting,you want a cfl in the 6500k range

I just harvested a tub and kept temps in the 60;s. They grow a little slower but thicker. Probably keeps contams from growing as well.
