And how are you measuring these temperatures? All of these aspects are very important.

An active BP can indicate a stressed BP. If this cage is bigger than her last that can stress her, or you could consider getting her another hide - one for the hot side and another for the cold side. The current hide she has has a big entrance, so it may not do too much to make her feel snug and secure. Usually aspen makes them feel a little more secure as they can burrow in it a bit. As far as mite prevention and using any chemicals - I can't help with that, I've thankfully never had to deal with mites and I just use newspaper and plastic hides.
Hey galaxygirl, temperature and humidity are no issues as I live in SE Asia where the temperature ranges from 26 to 32 degrees celcius (79 to 90 Fahrenheit), and humidity is mostly always about 74%. 😀

As such, I don't really need a hot and cold hide or UTH heat pads.

The tank is the same one which she was living in for the past few days though, although the hide I used was actually an overturned flower pot which she loves. Maybe I'll try changing the hide.
