I only have 1 BP and am still new at all this, but .... I glance over the temps periodically whenever I'm home (might be a bit obsessive right now since I'm still learning), both in morning and nighttime (I work during the day)....adjust the lamp dimmers if necessary to keep ambient temps ideal, as needed... I check the hot spot under the warm hide morning and night with a temp gun... double check that the UTH probe is still firmly in place once in awhile, probably every few days or so (it's taped to the non-sticky side under the tank, so I make sure it isn't loosened or falling off) ... look over the tank for any spot cleaning that may be necessary everyday... mist inside if the humidity needs a pick-me-up, maybe once a day (shes in a glass terrarium) ... aim to change water every evening, no longer than every other day... wash water dish with antibacterial dish soap once a week, otherwise just rinse it out real well with hot water when I replace drinking water...feed once a week f/t in the evenings (Tuesdays as of now) ...
I have not yet done a full-on thorough tank cleaning/disinfecting as I just got her on 02/08, but I'm thinking I will this weekend... will aim for every 30 days for that
I am proud to say that this morning I woke up to her first shed (with me, that is), and it was complete and no issues! Very happy to see that, means I must be at least doing something right ?? Ha
