    Welcome to the forums.

    Now I'm sure some other members will step in and help you out with your setup and a few other things that I've noticed.

    EDIT:
    Just in case nobody does, you'll want to change the thermometer & hydrometer. I can pretty much guarantee you that both of those are inaccurate. Acurite at walmart has great thermometers and they're pretty accurate, but always good to have a temp gun($10-15 off ebay). The best type of hydrometer to get is one that you can calibrate that has a screw and all, that way you know it's accurate(more people are familiar with this then myself). If you're going to run overhead heating, I'd say you're better off with a ceramic heat emitter that way it doesn't generate light as BP's are nocturnal. You honestly need to get different hides, something with only one way in so that way the BP can feel more secure. The waterbowl is too big, you can get better ones that won't tip over(can't think of the name but will post what I'm talking about in a bit). Your cage may be okay for now but you'll want to quickly get another size tank, and just put stuff in it to give the BP places to hide and so it's not so open. I'm not even sure about the fogger but with that tank like that I can almost guarantee you that your humidity gauge is very off because just by looking I can tell you that it should read 100% if not very very close.

    You want your snake to shed in one complete piece and yours is broken off and I couldn't tell you exactly why because I don't know if those pictures are from different dates or were they all taken today, or were some taken prior to the fogger?
