Look up the care sheet on this site....it really is the best I have found. Make sure you have a low and tight hide on both the cool side and the warm side. If you have a tank....try to cover the screen top with plexiglass or aluminum, this will help with your humidity. I try to keep my temps at 82-83 cool side and 92-93 warm side....humidity at 60%. When I see them going into a shed ....I add a humid hide with moss and I spray it down twice a day to bump up the humidity. Not sure how you are keeping track of the temps but you can get an acurite thermometer at wally world or lowes...it is $12- it has a probe which is really important. If you are using a under the tank heater be sure it has a thermostat. Some places will tell you that you do not need it....YOU DO!!! I totally get the different info you get as when I was new.....I noticed allot of that as well. I have to say though that this is the best site I have found for info on BP's. Very nice ppl on here that really try to help you without condeming you. I have found the information on here to be very accurate and I have to say....out of all of the site...this is my favorite. Hope I helped you out!
