    Re: Gaining trust with a previously neglected BP

    Welcome to bp.net!! To help with humidity cover screen tip with tinfoil or plexiglass and leave just enough room for heat lamp. What are you using as substrate (bedding)? Also what are you using to take temps? If your using those plastic analog ones they are very inaccurate, get a digital thermometer/hydrometer with probe one of the best is the acurite 00891 from amazon for $12. You put the probe so it will be under the middle of the heat light and the whole unit on cool side for cool temp and humidity. If you already have digital thermometers and hygrometers then just make sure you have the hot side one under middle of heat lamp about ground level or on ground bc that's where it will the hottest. Another thing that will help with humidity is getting a ceramic heat emitter, you will also need a lamp dimmer or thermostat unless you have one already, if your going to keep using the heat bulb you should really have a lamp dimmer or thermostat for that as well

    Good job taking the snake out of a bad situation! Here a bp care sheet, please read it over!
