Believe it or not, BPs get an awful lot of their water from their food intake, so his prey may need to be adjusted as needed.
the cool side is room temperature at the lowest so 74/75 degrees. The hot spot temperature is around 80 ( i was told not to use wall thermometer so I had to estimate). His last shed was around a month ago. I'm unsure about the humidity because I was told as well not to use a wall hydrometer because it is inaccurate and I don't know where to get an accurate one. Last time he ate (Wednesday) Charlie had two frozen thawed fuzzies. Recently, though, at the show earlier I was told to upgrade him to one frozen thawed mouse.
