alright... i made about 3 trips to petsmart, my new fav pet store. they do not have much in the way of reptiles, but what they do have had a very impresive fact sheet for each animal there. and the animals looked very well taken care of. the sheets had the humidity levels, size, temps, night time temps, and a few other details to let you know right away what to set up with. anyways..... i got a few things and now roswells new cage is done.. for this paycheck. here is his new home.

i had to get cocnut shell substrate cause they were all out of everytihng else. it is real nice so far. expanded very well, and looks good. i got a new waterbowl/hide. this was a great find. it was 6.99, and there is a bowl on top and underneath is a hide. i thought this would be great for the cool side hide. i got a new log hide for him too. it has 3 entrances on on each side, and one on top, and some bonzia tree style stuff. he was kicking it on there earlier and looked happy. i also got some vine with a suction cup to put in the back, and provide shade in the back of the log. it was 10 bucks, but a whole rack was mis-labeled at 2.99 i think, and they honered the price. i went to the fish section and got some plastic grass. they were 1.50$ each, and i want to get more to create a fake grassy area he can chill in. i also got the acurite deal with a probe for a second temp. i used the mounting part with the sticky sided tape. i put a bead of silicone around the outside of the double tape to prevent water from ever getting in and making it fall. i also put a heat pad on the warm side. i will now be getting the timers, and trying to work out a system to keep it perfect. all in all i think i spent about 50-60 bucks(minus the ultrasonic foggerthats getting returned). next paycheck i hope to get some more things for the middle, and maybe create another spot for him to chill and climb.. i was looking at those vines, but they are paper, and i am not too sure about how the moisture would handle with paper after a while.... i also need a background. i havent seenany that reall catch my eye yet. well i did se one, but it was too large, and the wrong theme. it was greek statues underwater and it was blue.
