Most people suggest maintaining daily humidity in the 50-60% range. And while this may be ideal, BP's will do just fine in the 40's if all other conditions are met.

OH, also, when using a T-stat, do you put the probe on the bottom of the tank/on the substrate to measure bottom temps?
I like to put mine inside the tank/tub...but directly on the bottom with the substrate on top of it. (As I mentioned earlier...a very thin layer of substrate) This way, I know exactly how hot the floor of the enclosure is getting. And I place the thermometer probe on top of the substrate, but under the warm-side hide....so that I can be sure the t-stat setting is doing its job.
