    Zoo-med 500r thermostat
    Accurite digi thermometer & hygrometer

    Zoo-med UTH
    2 Exo-Terra med cave hides
    Aspen Bedding
    Tree log
    Water dish
    Fake tree
    Tropical Aire humidifier w/60 gallon air pump
    2 Heat lamps (1 w/daytime bulb 1 w/red for night neither gets used anymore)

    Looks pretty good! If you have any troubles getting him to feed you can fill in the empty space with fake plants for awhile to help him feel more secure. You also might want to put some crumpled newspaper in the hides, they look just a tad big. It's an easy fix until he's a bigger. They like to really squish themselves into their hides.

    EDIT, sorry I just read that you've fed him successfully twice. Don't use my advice unless he stops feeding. If it's not broke don't fix it.
