I purchased my bp for my son for his birthday in July. We tried coconut bark, and it was too messy. I switched to rept carpet after a week. It seemed to work fine, but a bit of a pain to clean. Last week I put in cypress mulch. It keeps the humidity really high, like 90+, but the snake stays off of it. He seems to stay on his climbing log all the time. Could it be that the humidity is too high? I have a digital hydrometer about 16" above the floor and it has ready between 92-99% for the week. The cypress came in a bag from petsmart, and I believe that it was very moist, when I put it in, the sides of the tank fogged up.

He is in a glass aquarium (44 long) and the top is interesting. There is a glass piece in the middle, for support, it is about 12" wide. I have glass pieces on both ends that I can slide to allow more air, and reduce/increase humidity. and a screen top above that.

Any help would be great, I really don't want anything to happen to him, my boy loves him. He is still a little afraid to hold him for too long, but he is only 6, so he has plenty of time.
