OK my BP is finally home and in his enclosure. He's a year old Male weighing about 700 grams.
I've got the temps NEARLY right in the enclosure, a little low, but I'm still playing with getting the heat lamp right. I've got about 76 degrees ambient on the cool side, 82 degrees ambient on the hot side, and 90 degrees on the ground right on top of the heat pad.
My biggest problem is humidity. I know this is due to me using a large glass enclosure and that it's winter time. I have about 2/3rds of the top of the screen top covered in foil which helps some, and I have a large water dish. But with no misting, my humidity is about 35%. If I mist the foliage, I can get the humidity above 50% for a couple hours, but then it goes back down.
Would cypress mulch fix this issue do you think?
I'll upload a picture of our new baby tonight!

My 2 cents on humidity --
I leave it as is most of the time but ones they're "in blue" I move them to the hot hide and start misting twice a day under the hide/the towel in there/the snake... Had 5 successful sheds between my 2 guys so far.
Also, if I see their eye caps getting wrinkled I start misting them.
But other than that... I leave them be.
