Their bites don't hurt much really.
Rather than get another log I would recomend either the drip trays for under plant pots or nice,non see through, plastic bowls - check the local dollar stores etc and then either chip a hole in the edges or drill a large enough hole in the top. Those will be darker and feel more secure than most logs for him - and will probably cost you less. No sense breaking the bank untill you know if they are a solution or not.
One exception to this rule mind you is thermostats - I would recomend getting the best you can afford ( jhonson controls,ranco,herpstat or helix seem to be the most recomended brands) - I think they can be purchased for around $80-$120 and would save you having to keep adjusting and checking all the time.
Anyone with a better idea of pricing feel free to chime in at this point as I'm on the wrong continent to be certain.
Glass tanks are renowned for being hard to get to hold the heat and humidity so I would think of trying the spraying/more ventilation trick to see if you can create a cool end for him to thermoregulate effectively.
Most BP's come round ok - especially if they were fine being handled before.
**edit**
I just noticed you didn't say how the uth was controlled - this is important as some brands can get hot enough to actually cause burns on the underside of the animal if not controlled.
Also I should have asked before - are there any other signs of changed behaviour you have noticed?
