Never had a cat that wanted into "the lizard room". But the dogs of 25-75 pounds always wanted in for inspection. The crew didnt mind. Once tame, the crew didnt mind even getting smelled.
Though i had one water dragon that would not have it. If someone was going in for a smell, they are...
The only need for RO/distilled water is if you have a misting or fogging system. You will get everything covered with white powder etc, and clog up your system (and need to bacteria clean) if you dont use distilled etc.
The remineralization cartridge is a "flavor enhancer". Its not for making...
As for if they are digesting or not, thats easy to see, just float the poo. Its either going to have a bunch of undigested leaves, or just the indigestible cellulose fiber just like us humans.

I use waterproof pet heating pads. These are ones that uses 12-24v dc to the pad, and have a temperature setting, not a L/M/H setting. I just pop them under the bins and set them to 45c, which makes the bin about 30c.

But my crew wont eat dubia from a bowl, they dont move...
Well, we have seen videos of veileds eating fruit by using the full length of the tongue, which i found weird, since all of mine just ate like beardies.
I believe one field report stated they switch to fruits when the dry season hits and they run out of bugs.
The problem with airflow causing URI is when it becomes a "swamp cooler". AKA you create the ideal environment for growing mushrooms etc.
What you would want to simulate is madagascar right before mating season. This after monsoon season and before the dry season. Its basically peak...
As a heat riser myself, i dont deal with above cage radiant heat. Ill pop a indoor/outdoor DC heating pad under the cage. They are very low wattage, like 15-25 watts and bump the cage 5-10 degrees. But the heat only has one place to go, up...
Ill also(much to the confusion of the cham) move...
