Reduce your heat bulb to a 75 or 50 watt. Put you water bowl in the middle of your tank and move it toward the heat lamp or away to adjust your humidity. This will take time and trial and error to do because you will need to allow the humidity to readjust everything you move the water bowl. Make sure your water bowl has a big surface area of water. I have a link to a video in one of the posts in this thread that explains all this and about water surface area. Find and watch it to see if it helps.

My BP's are all housed in cages setup like this and I've yet to have a bad shed:

Apologies for putting another view on things but many keepers have branches in their Royal setups as they will most definitely climb them in the evenings . They will even chill-out in them for a while on occasion and if course climbing is great exercise for them .
I've even got one Royal , my two year old Pastel who strike feeds from the branches and eats up in them - if he's up there when it's feeding time .
Certainly worth a try as they can simply be removed if needed .

Can I take a hot glue gun and glue over the probe wire in the corners of either side of the tank? Any other suggestions?
Well I for one use a glue gun very successfully to stick down any probes or wires in my vivs .

Not sure if this has been asked already, if I plan on getting a UTH with a temp controller, do I still need to get the thermostat?

A thermostat is a temp controller. You one that if it were to fail it turns off so that it does not start a fire or burn your animal.
