    rubbermaid?? q's
    Go get a big ol rubbermaid, a 20$ 1x2 human heat pad, and drill ten holes on both sides of it. Put the stuff needed, decor and whatnot, in there, and put the bp in too. Finally put the bp in, put the heat mat on high, put the cover on, and bam, a new home. total cost, 35$ depending on what you already have for supplies.

    Holes should be drilled around the top couple inches, about 1-2" apart, all the way around. I put my human heating pad on medium, but adjust it as you need to to maintain temps. Get some bungee cords to put around the middle of the rubbermaid, as they can push the lid up in the middle and get out!

    did it today and its all set up and going!! human heat pads are better than the zoomeds or any other sticky "snake heat pad" cheaper too

    i have it set on medium
    temps are good although the hummidity is still a little high 70 but i'm gunna drill a couple more holes. its gunna have to do, till tomarrow though.

    the temp is at 92 on the one side and 75-78 on the other side

    my Q is this:
    i'm using news paper for a substrate.
    is the heat pad gunna burn him because its 92 in the floor??

    done!
    No. 92 won't burn him. In fact, he may just take up residence on the 92 end! make sure you are still providing a hide on each end, and that you only have the heat pad under 1/4 to 1/3 of the rubbermaid. I love my rubbermaids!

    i don't have a hid on both sides yet because i ran outta card board boxes
    but i'll get one soon

    its not that big of a deal as he's kept in my closet

    anyway other than that i think i got it pretty much down very easy to keep
    thanks for all your help
