Heya all. Im new to this forum so this is my first post. This site has been very useful in information along with other websites in my decision to purchase a bosc monitor. I have read a ton of information and weighed up the pro's and cons's of owning such an amazing creature, across its whole life from the age I get it to things like the potential size he/she could reach.

2moro i will be recieving my aparently "7 week old" baby bosc. She/he is supposed to be around the 6/8 inch mark from tip to tail. As soon as i have recieved boscy i will upload some pics with the viv.

I have most of the equipment already set up, which i have had on and monitored for the past 48hours ready to take the lizzard into a nice comfortable enviroment.
This is the list i own so far. (if anyone has ANY reccomendations to anything i can add or change please feel free to say).

Vivarium. 48inch long by 18 by 18 inch. Solid wood "ADT VIVARIUM" with front sliding strong glass doors. (This is its first year or so viv, or basicly untill its grown out of it)

1 x 150W ExoTerra bulb and light unit "the round caged one".

1 x Reip glow 10.0 uv bulb and starter unit

1 x large reptile heat mat

2 x thermomitors (for each end)

1 x Hydromiter (in the middle)

2 x nice large rocks placed safley to rase the basking spot

1 x Large exo terra water dish

2 x medium wood "hideouts"

The substrate im using is a mixture of virgin soil and a good quality reptile sand. Due to the enclosure design i can only put around 3 or 4 inch of substrate due to the sliding doors. I have read to use "paper towels" which i have placed around ontop of the sand giving him effectivly a pathway from the hot spot at the right end of the viv to the cool spot at the left end.

My "hot spot" basking area is around the 125/130 F
The cool spot area which i have placed the heat mat under is around the 75/85 F mark with a mid viv ambiant temprature ranging between 75/90F
The humidity reading as of now is 60% but i think thats down to a rainy day and fresh substrate, im going to leave the light on over night to try and rid of some of that water.

Any advice would be very much apreciated, any little secrets to giving him/her the best life possible would be greatly apreciated
I will keep updated how things go over the next 24 hours XD .
