    Looking to get a BP; Have a few questions.

    Here is the care sheet:

    They need a warm side of 88-92f And a cool side of about 80-82f (no lower than 75f on the cool side) you can boost the ambient temperature of the enclosure by boosting the whole room temperature.

    You will need 2 of the exact same secure hides, one on the cool end one on the warm. The reason for them to be the same is so your BP doesn't choose security over thermo regulation. Try to find hides that only have one entrance/exit.

    They need humidity at 50-60% which should be monitored and 70-80% during there Shed cycle you monitor this with a digital Hygrometer. You may have read that bathing your BP is something to do when they are in shed, please DO NOT do this, it causes unnecessary stress for your BP.

    Day/night cycle is not necessary. My BP is providing with natural daylight that comes through my window.

    You will also need thermostats to regulate all of your heat sources as well as digital thermometer to constantly monitor temps and maybe a temp gun.

    Best of luck, welcome to BP.net
