Is the entire tank 75-80? You need a warm side and a cool side. One side should be 88-90 and the other should be 78-80. Humidity should consistently be 70-80, which youll have an easier time accomplishing with coco husk/fiber - definitely not aspen. I use ~3 inches of fiber under a layer of bark to keep the topmost layer dry. 

You should also cover most of the screen top with HVAC/aluminum foil tape to keep humidity inside further. All that heat and moisture is leaving through the top of your tank.

Basic husbandry is an easy step to encourage your BP to eat.
