Here's what I'm thinking about for my upcoming BP:

55 gallon tank with a screen top.
Eco-Earth/Bed-A-Beast type expanded coconut coir fiber substrate.
A hide at each end, water dish somewhere near the middle.

Now, heating.

Ambient temps in my apartment tend to be around 70-68.
I'm thinking a ceramic heat emitter on one end for my warm side and basking. On the other side have a red or black bulb for a warmer cool side as well as night viewing.

I'll also have a 20" dual-incandescent fixture in the middle with about 50W of white light to help simulate daytime, since I keep my living room lights off during the day and Western Washington doesn't get a lot of sun.

Plus all the normal thermo/hygrometers and timers and whatnot.

So...anyone have any thoughts on this setup? First time herp keeper, so I'd rather not screw anything up.
