BRB summer husbandry

It's imortant to keep BRB under 84°F. They can handle slightly higher temps for short period but not for too long. If temps get in the high 80's while using the AC, change water in a large water bowl often with cooler water (75°F). Or use a fogger with cool water.
I also prefer top heating using a heating panel but that's just a preference of me. The risk of thermal blocking is lower that way but this is mostly only an issue with larger specimen.
The coconut fiber is very nice for them. Keeps the moisture and is resistant to mold.

Since you can regulate the temperature inside of the enclosure the temperature and weather outside should not matter too much. You seem to have everything right though, but make sure to monitor his temps and humidity, just to be sure. Good luck!
