idk why but the last week or so ive seen my bp drinking water as soon as i put him up from handling him. sometimes he'll just dip his nose in and sometimes he'll actually lick the water like a dog. pretty awesome really lol. but most ppl dont get to see it happen very often so dont worry if you dont.

i had the same problem with my humidity, all i did was tape aluminum foil overy 85-90% of the screen and move the water bowl to be mostly sitting underneath the lamp and over top the UTH. i also mist it once or sometimes twice a day which brings the humidity way up and will usually stay there. hope it helps
