Well like the title says i am one more step closer. In the past 3 days i have recieved the following

-3 med pvc hides from reptile basics
-80w RHP
-lots of repti bark and eco earth
-herpstat 1
-new water bowl/tray

now all i am waiting on is the animal plastics t-10 tank. ugh 3-4 more weeks i hope. i cannot wait to get this tank and get it all set up. i just hope the RHP will provide enough heat to even keep the ambient temps up to par. my room/apt stays around 72-74 since i dont pay for gas i can keep it a little higher. finally taking a step in the right direction away from these glass terrirums!!
