My little BRB has a wooden viv, with coconut bark chips. She has a few hides; two moist (one in the cool end and one on the heatmat), and a dry one in between...

we have ours in a wooden viv too. she is a 6' adult female so she does not need the high moisture. she has a bowl of water, to soak in and a moist hide made from bark and filled with moss... she loves it in there...
she also loves to climb, all over the hide and up a pole with vines wrapped around it.
we use the eco earth as a substrate. it holds LOADS of moisture and is completely harmless... soaks up the wee too...

Congrats on the new addition! How's he/she doing? As for ventilation, I got my other half to drill holes, a cluster of 8-10 on the bottom left on the back panel, he then drilled a similar amount on the top right of the front panel. By having holes lower, cool air enters and out of the higher holes, warm air leaves, this creates an airflow, allowing fresh air to circulate and stagnant air to leave. Its easy to tell if its not working well and more vents are needed as the humidity will be sky high and the box will have a distinct musty smell when opened!!

She's doing fine it seems, got some pics of her setup, got her in a 9l RUB. Humidity seems good, the hygrometer says 60% but its a dial one, still waiting on the digital thermohygrometer thingy to come in the post.
