4x2x2 PVC enclosures for both. 12-13hr light cycle...I've been so lazy I need to get a timer, but the LEDs go on at 6am before work and off at 7pm. 89* cooling at night and 93* hot spot each from RHPs. Humidity stays relatively constant at 65% based on numbers I got from StarPythons. The bedding is thick brown paper i have a 1000ft roll of I cut multiple sheets. There is one large shallow bin I keep 3/4 filled with ReptiBark and moist for the humidity and to keep cleaning the cages easy. All the large wood and huge cork pieces are attached to the back panel of the enclosure with monster zip ties so nothing moves, so there are numerous areas and shelves to bask on. Cool side is about high 70s, very low 80s. They both have huge hides in that bark bin, which they go into every night and during the day to sleep when they are not out basking under the RHP. Everything seems perfect, except they will not eat!!! haha. Trying to be patient. I never see them drink water, which worries me, but it is always available. The smaller adult Variegata seems "thinner" but not sickly. Obviously from not eating for a while I imagine that could happen, but she just shed a nice shed and is active. Eyes are super clear and she hates me just as much as she ever did.
A post I made a while back talked about giving them both a treatment for a few days in dawn soap and heated water, which I did, and then a treatment for a week or so with a blue liquid diluted...I can't remember what it's called off the top of my head. That honestly went well. The jungle, who was soaking in his water bowl constantly, has never done that again, and stopped roaming around his cage crazily for no reason like he was trying to escape. I didn't find mites, but am almost convinced there was something on the reptibark like wood mites or some s&*t that was tweaking him out. I now microwave all the Reptibark before using it in there. Had the same issue with my blue-tongue skink, and that has since stopped.
Sorry for the lengthy post, just trying to give some information to anybody else who might chime in. Thanks again.
