I keep humidity around 60%. Being such a big tank, I have two UTHs. The second is set to 80 F and the water bowl sits on top of that...gives it a nice constant 60% humidity. I also have the top foiled off, except of about an inch strip on both sides of the lid. Both UTHs are on rheostats.
They don't 'require' much more space. A neonate will do fine in a 20gallon long until about 3-4ft. They don't stress out from too much space like balls do though, but they won't move around all that much as an adult.
An adult will fit happily in a 4x2 reptile cage.

When they're young they tend to be more climbers and baskers than hiders. My RTB doesn't use his hides very often, but will burrow and climb on his branches. He's the only one I have equipped with a heat lamp to provide proper temperatures on his branching platforms.
