edit: Oh and regarding your tank, smaller is better for a BP, they like to feel secure in a smaller enviroment. You could keep your big tank but make sure to have lots of hides that the snake can squeeze into, and you could maybe try adding some non-toxic live pants to raise humidity (and for your BP to climb on, lol).
hope this helps

Nope, that was one of my questions as well, it shouldn't grow mold. Really you shouldn't have the humidity constanly high enough for mold to grow anyway. I have heard of mites in bags of substarte before but mites are species specific, so it doesn't matter. I don't see a need to spray unless you actually see mites, (usually around the eyes or nostrils) or if your snake is soaking in it's water bowl more than usual.

You're welcome, good luck! (I'm a girl by the way..man haha)

edit: If you change the newspaper for a different substrate you might not even need to add real plants to the tank, but they make it look a lot more attractive.

If you can't keep proper husbandry in your fish cage, maybe it's time to consider a different type of enclosure. It IS all about the snake, right?

"but she love the big tank "

She does, does she...
When did she tell you? Does she wag her tail every time you put here in her tank, or does she lick you?
