And yeah I would have to mist like 3-4 times a day to get the humidity that high.
Drill about 10-20 holes on each side of the bin, they should be about 3-5mm. Make sure you have 2 hides, water bowl, and some enrichment inside of the bin. The same way you would set up her cage.

Because you have a CHE, you’ll have to cut off a portion of the lid for your lamp and use some kind of, heat resistant mesh material to cover up the hole. Attach the meth to the lid on the external side of the lid with either foil tape, electrical tape, or some kind of non toxic, heat resistant glue. When you set this up, the lamp should not be on top of the enclosure, but about 12 inches away from the bottom of the enclosure.

I would definitively recommend that you invest in a heat mat. Heat mats hardly affects your humidity and will provide proper heat for your bp. You will notice a HUGE difference with your humidity if you switch over. When I used a plastic bin and a heat mat, I misted about 1 or 2 times a week. I moved my snake over to a front opening tank, while using a heat mat and had to switch to forest floor and covered 3/4 of the screen lid and maintained 65% humidity. I added a CHE to my glass tank and now I have to use coco husk, sphagnum moss, and mist at least 4 times a day just to keep humidity to about 55-60%.

In terms of humidity inside the bin, you’ll probably only have to spray it once a day. If you need it to be higher you can easily place a damp towel inside the bin on the hot side. Just make sure to replace the towel every 5 or so days to reduce bacteria buildup. You could also change your substrate to coco husk or forest floor unless you are using that already.
