Hooray, my baby, CB, sav monitor is coming on tuesday. I have a couple days to make the setup. right now I have a list of things I want to get, please, feel free to add things in your posts and suggest specific brands when I run to the pet store tommorow and Monday.


- a tank, probably a 30 - 45 gallon, because this guy is a baby and probably not longer than my finger, I figure this will be plenty of space utnil he reaches large juvie size.

- A heat lamp

- Infrared/Uv light, something dim but helpful, mostly for nighttime

- Substrate, If not dirt, then cypress mulch

- Water bowl (duh)

- warmside cave hide, which will probably double as a basking spot ontop, and a rock surface to grind his claws down.

- A coolside log or fake tree-trunk hide

- A large dry climbing log

- Thermometer (again, duh)

- Some fun smaller climbing branches

- possible tank background, if i can find one that looks nice.

- maybe a few more small hides

- oh, and maybe a few rocks here and there, just for hangin out, grinding claws down, and to make things a bit more interesting.

---------------------------------------------------------------

oh! and i need tips on keeping the tank humid and having him/her not being dehydrated. I think that also contributed to my other monitors death, disease and slight dehydration.

please, add more on the list if you can think of anything. If you have any tips on specific brand names, please give me the best name of something you know of, and also give the name of a different one that does the job well also, but maybe not as good and a little cheaper.
