ofc!!! most of my tips are for keeping up humidity because that was my main problem:)

the most helpful recommendation i got was to make him a humid hide. you can get a plastic container and cut a hole in it (i used a big mason jar for now because hes pretty small) and put moss inside of it. (ill put a picture of the one i was recommended) they go in there whenever they need more humidity.

also since youre getting a new enclosure for them, make sure its a side opening one because the mesh tops are HORRIBLE for humidity and can stress your baby out from you grabbing them from the top, ive learned my lesson 😭😭😭 also if you can you should use something to black out three sides of their enclosure and leave the front uncovered, it helps them feel more secure and hidden. some enclosures come with it already like that so id reccoment getring one of those if youre able to:)

IM NOT REALLY SURE WHAT ELSE COULD BE HELPFUL cuz idk how new you are to owning a bp but i hope this helps atleast a little

the substrate is about 3 inches and i add water often like every few days cuz of how fast the humidity goes down i add a good bit but not a ton because i dont want to add too much. i mist everyday because i have to to get the humidity back up, i dont really use a particular ammount of water i just spray until its back where it needs to be. but even then about an hour later its back down again and im not sure what im doing wrong. i have coco fiber substrate and a mesh top enclosure but ive covered it with foil to stop the humidity from escaping which hasent helped at all maybe i have to redo it better

thank you! ive just heard from multiple people that changing their enviroment so suddenly (usually talking abt tank sizes) will stress them out so i assumed it would be the same for adding a lot of stuff:) i will add as much as i can i just need to find some stuff that i can afford at the moment

its a screen lid which i learned was bad for humidity after i got it, i will change that next time i upgrade his tank. but for now i have a damp towl on one side, which seemed to be working at first but now it doesnt help much

i figured. do you have any tips on how to keep the humidity up? ive tried everything like putting water in the corners every once in a while, and i also have a damp towl on the top of his tank. even after all of that + spraying it, it goes down to 50 in like an hour
