Well, after everyone has helped me here I was able to purchase everything, get it setup, modifly temps and humidity and finally get Apep (short for Apophis).
The images in this thread are after about a week and a half of keeping him, I had just gotten a few more supplies in so I decided it was time for photos!
Here he is climbing out of the container I had held him in while remodeling his cage, he seems to love it on the top of the cliff.
Here he is chillin at the top, watchin me,
Checking out his roof:
and finally one of the cage with the sliding glass in place:
Here is a little info on my current setup,
55 Gallon breeder with sliding front glass, 36 X 18 X 18.5
Great looking black stand
11" Heat tape on warm and cool side, controlled by seperate thermostats,
150 watt night bulb on dimmer (10" dome w/ ceramic socket)
36" repti-sun flourecent bulb and fixture on timmer
1 dual probe digital thermometer (seperate probes for warm and cool hides)
2 dual proble digital thermometers and hygrometers (seperate setups for each side to measure ambient temps and humidity) the displays all sit on top of the cage.
And all of the stuff inside of course.
Virosan always on hand for quick cleanups.
A little about Apep,
alittle over 2 foot, 18 months, has fed on small live rats twice and doing fine!
I love him!
Thanks everyone for all your help while I purchased everything!
