    Really? I would say the perfect size set up for a baby BP would be a 12 Qt tub, but then again, what would I know...

    Last time I checked the average humidity levels in the areas of Africa that BP's come from is between 60% - 80%... much higher than any of us keep our cages at.

    My cages sit at 60% normally, and somewhere between 60%-80% during shed.

    Tanks are notorious for having humidity troubles. That is why very few of us will ever recommend using a tank. But, there are some things you can do, like use a substrate that holds humidity well, or cover 3/4 of your screen top with plastic wrap, or mist the tank regularly. When you get tired of messing with all that, you can always take a look at this:

    Congratulations! Sometimes, it can be quite the challenge to get them to take F/T's...
