Hello everyone!

I'm new here to for forums, as well as a new BP owner. I had one with my uncle a few years ago, but I finally have one myself (I tried to sell my beardie and the guy offered me to trade for a bp instead..... I couldn't turn it down).

So, here are some questions:

Infared spot bulb: How long should this be on? Should I leave it on 24 hours on the hot side or connect it to my timer?

Temps: What are the ideal temps and humidities for both hot and cool sides? I've done plenty of research and reading, but I want to hear from you guys as well.

Scales: My BP seems to have what I might describe as partial sheds? There are parts of his body that feel like shedding but it hasn't really started yet.

Age: How can I tell the age? The previous owner said he was young, and I can tell he is, but I'd like a little bit better of an idea.

Hide: I put his secondary hide on the UTH. Is this a good idea? Is it okay? I also put the probe from my electronic therm in here is as well to. I've got an analog therm here on the hot side as well. Should I move the probe the UV spot?

UTH: I was a little skeptical about this. I have the small ZooMed heater. Is there a way to regulate the temp other than watching it? I have it connected to my adjuster just in case it gets too hot, but should I hook the adjuster to the UV spot instead?
Theres some more, but I'll remember them later.
