    BTW, be careful about putting your heat lamp over top of plexi-glass as it is just plastic it can/will melt if the heat source is to close.

    I put some mesh between the plexi where the light is.

    The mesh will be wrapped with something. Regular aluminum foil will work, right?

    its looking good.

    did you get a 30-50 gal UTH for the hot side? and a 10-20gal for the cold? im just going by ur drawing size. thats all. but as long as u keep the ambient temps up it should be a good start at a decent cage

    Ya the piece I marked in the picture is very close to where they are and size they are. The bigger one goes from the little black mark in the wood to the back. I think it's 10x11".

    it looks good, i would place at least one hide close to both UTH so he has one cooler thermal regulated hide and one warmer one. since BP's don't really bask and during the day the hides is where they will be most of the time.

    to make you BP feel safe in that large tank your going to need to fill that tank with allot fo stuff he can hid in and generally feel unexposed in. such as some plants and sticks, fake vines with leaves. and then you should be set.
