    setup pic; suggestions welcome!

    so i'm getting my first bp tomorrow!! hooray! he's a 2008 Bumblebee, so i will post pics of him tomorrow!! i'm so excited i don't know if i will sleep tonight lol.

    i've been reading and reading as many of "these kind of posts" as well as the caresheets to glean as much as i can, and apply it to what i've got setup.
    anyhow, i spent yesterday putting some finishing touches on his house, and wanted to post a picture of how i've got it to see if any of you have any suggestions or comments!



    So, its a 15g tank 24x12x12 with a wire locking lid. The back and 2 sides have black foam core insulation on them. I have a UTH on a dimmer on the right hand side of the tank, dimmed to 90*F. The lamp is a 50W Moonglow bulb to keep the ambient night temperature a bit higher, as the room this is in is at a temp of 70-75*F. I made the hides from terra cotta cactus pots (with no holes in the bottoms), though the one on the right's hole is a bit bigger than i'd like...i broke it a bit His water dish is the green bowl on the left, and then i added some sterilized mopani wood to the tank for something to crawl on/start sheds.

    I will be replacing the substrate with aspen once i pick him up, I'm picking up a bale of aspen at the same time. I have been temp-ing stuff with a heat gun, and have an indoor outdoor thermometer with a probe/humidity on the way (should arrive today) I just need to file a slot for the probe to fit under the lip of the warm hide.

    what do you think??
