I'm completely new to snakes and BPs. I just adopted my little guy on Tuesday. I'm a little unsure of how to regulate his humidity and make sure he's happy and healthy. I had a thermometer but I'm going to go out and buy a digital one tonight or tomorrow. I'm also worried about regulating the temperature of his enclosure as I know their environment should be more or less stable when it comes to temperature, but my home tends to be very cool. I don't like leaving the lamp on either, especially since I don't want him to bask so much that he ends up being burned. He does have a UTH. I placed it on the side of the enclosure as it seemed to be the only place I could put it that wouldn't prompt any potential issues. I started putting a flannel over the top so that the heat is kept in the enclosure better (it's not a fish tank, however it does have a screen––I plan on putting a latch on it soon so he doesn't have the ability to make a grand escape), and just the other day I put the light on here and there so that it peeked through the flannel and he could selectively choose where to migrate. He has a nice little tree hide and he went up to the top of it where the light peeked through and hung out for a bit. Temperament wise, I haven't seen any indication of him being stressed or ill. He goes out and about sometimes and other times he'll just relax inside his hide. I had him out for about a minute the other day just on my arm and he was totally fine.

I'd also love any other advice or of the sort. I'm still planning on getting him a lot more leafy stuff and hides. My friend thought he was a pastel? Is that right?
