When I kept my BPs in glass tanks I used zoo med repti shelters with damp towels. This seemed to work pretty well. You'll also have better luck with your humidity if you switch from using lamps to using an under tank heater, just make sure you get something to control it. If you want to stick with heat lamps I would switch to using a red/blue/black blub then you only need one and can leave it on all the time. BPs don't need light, I keep mine in tubs and the only light they get is what makes it through the plastic or when I take them out.

I hope this helps, good luck!
Thank you for the suggestions. I will be sure to get another hide for him. As for the under tank heater. I had purchased one the other day then realized that the stand we have the tank on is all wood and the rubber "feet" that were included would not lift the tank enough. I will be investing in another stand, one that is more appropriate for that type of heater. I did get a red bulb, it is only a 50 watt though. I may have to get at least a 75watt??? Thank you very much for your help. I will make the next hide a humidity hide.
