    Two regular hides are fine. I don't personally believe a BP needs a humid hide unless the humidity is killer (30% or less).

    Just make sure your humidity is around 60% when they shed. Spraying the tank a couple times a day should help.

    No problem.

    Keep humidity at 60% at all times, and bump it up to 80% when they are in shed.

    Low humidity leads to respiratory problems and dehydration--not just bad sheds.
