The T-8 basically comes with slits in the wood that allows for ample ventilation for a BP. If someone hasn't said it already, make sure your heat source is hooked up to a thermostat and, once you're able to get the humidity stable, you should be good to go. If you're having issues with humidity, I believe there is a sticky in the husbandry page that details how to modify aquariums/terrariums so that they keep heat/humidity up. When I first got my BP, I didn't know about this site and was doing everything wrong. Thank God I didn't have any issues. So kudos to you for seeking the right info. Everything I've said I learned from people on this site and they've always been more than willing to help.

Thank you so much for sharing! Buying a T-8 is very tempting, but I'm able to keep the temp and humidity fairly even in the terrarium I have. I think I'll just plan on buying a better enclosure once she gets older and outgrows the one I have now.

Keeping you all posted...Sarabi (my BP), seems to be doing great. She appears healthy and 'happy' (not stressed). She now weighs 98g and is about 1.6 feet. I've been feeding her hopper mice, but I'm gonna change to small adult mice or rat pups.

Thank you all so much for your help.
