My boyfriend and I are about to go pick up our first BP. Are females or males better to start with? Or does it not matter? Input please?


We've also already set up the cage. Its a 55 gallon tank. We had troubles with the heat, so we added a heat lamp along with our under tank heater. We've finally got the heat to about 72F on the cool side, and 85F on the warm side. But now we're having troubles with the humidity(48% on the warm side and 73% on the cool side). We have water in the dish already, but it doesn't seem to help. Would this be okay with frequent mists, or as is? Any suggestions?


Thank you.
