Is this Okay???

Instead of using Aspen substrate I'm using this stuff called Fir and Sphagnum Peat Moss Mix as substrate. We use it for our corn and he loves it, but is it okay to use for a BP?

Also, When I was cleaning I found a small white "ball" with little black specks in it, is this a urate? (sp?)

i think the moss is going to cause your humidity to be too high... as for the white ball, yes it sounds like you found some urates ;)

It's not damp or anything but when I put the thermometer on the ground it reads HI but when I put it off the ground it readsaround 70

well if your thermometer cannot tell you the temp on the ground, it prolly means its really really hot.

Sorry, not the thermometer, the thing that reads the humidity.

I just used aspen, that bedding was way too damp.

Should I wait to feed him till tomorrow since I mucked with his tank today?

it looks like you are using an acurite which means the reading is above 90 percent.

i would, whenever you decide to feed, take a hair dryer and air out the substrate to dry it out. make sure you put it on low so the substrate doesnt fly everywhere.

Ha ha! I could totally see that happening. :snake:
