how are you controlling humidity now?

Misting once a day. Have a towel covering 90% of the screen. Obviously I need to mist a lot more. When I mist, how wet should I be getting the substrate? And should I be mixing it up to get the bottom stuff too? Or just the top?

Not saying you should or can do the same but I have my snakes in tubs on paper towels. I do a stream of water along the out side of each hide, the paper towel soaks the water up and keeps great humidity inside the hide, even a day later after doing so I can lift the hide and see condensation on the under side of the hide. this leaves me doing a stream of water about once every 3 days around each hide. I don't have any humidity issues what so ever. in my opinion the best climate control for bp's is in plastic totes as you would find in a rack system. even if I did not have a rack I would probably house my bp's in the same bins.

Always nice to see them eat.
It is okay to use pine bedding for snakes.
It is okay to feed live food to snakes.

I'm not a fan of bins. No judgment for those who use them, I just don't like them. I'd rather find ways to improve my current setup. After Christmas I'm switching to a PVC enclosure, so that should help. I just need to figure out how to keep him happy until then.

Just continue misting and and using the towel till you get your PVC cage. Do you have a good thermometer in the cage? You can spray the substrate well just let it sorta dry out before you re-soak it again.

I have the Acu-Rite thermometer. I'm also getting an ir gun to be extra sure the temps are all good.

good choice of thermometer.. shouldn't need an IR gun if the acu-rite is placed right in the cage.
