Just a little 'constructive' criticism,.... it may be best if you ask all your questions in one post if possible. Just a suggestion.
You can get many different opinions on this, and chances are 90% of them would fall into the perfectly fine advice range,... but I say that if your ambient (overall general air) temps are in the 86 to 90 degree range, this should be adequate for a healthy appetite and overall sense of well being. And any humidity over 60% is fine, but I try to keep mine between 80 and 90% at all times. Optimal is best, I say. Also, with burmese,. and I should probably post this in it's own thread,.. but I feel that with constant high humidities that burmese are MUCH less likely to contract the upper respitory infections that they are famous for being HIGHLY susceptible to. It's just a theory of mine at this point, but I should have conclusive, compiled data on this within a few years.

Is it ok for the bedding to be moist or is that bad for scale rot or anything like that. Bc i have a reptibark substrate that has a soil in it to retain humidity but for 80 percent i have to mist very heavily.

It is ok for the bedding to be moist, yes, but not "wet". Or part of the bedding moist, most somewhat dry. When running high humidity levels it's impossible for anything in that environment to be completely dry, but dry enough to never cause scale rot. I have never had any problems with this and my humidity levels average about 90%. Though they sometimes drop to the mid 80's.
