Welcome Shark Bait. (I feel like watching Nemo all of a sudden ) My biggest thing about owning a bp is to make sure you make their environment as close to perfect as possible. They are an ectotherm, so require the right temps to maintain a healthy life. Don't measure the temps and humidity with those dials or little strips. (they suck) Go for a digital thermometer! Make sure to provide two hides one on hot side and one on cool. No touching after a feed for 48 hours. And here's a link to the caresheet.
