First of all my name is Jeff and I have been visiting this site frequently in preparation for getting my first BP. Just about every question I have had could be answered by doing a search. There has been a lot of great info. Now I think I am ready for a tenant for my first enclosure. It's nothing fancy, real simple, but I wanted to make sure i'm not forgetting anything.

I'm using a sterilite 32 qt. storage box with approx. 19 holes put on each long side via use of a soldering iron. I then have flexwatt taped underneath with a t-stat (probe directly on the flexwatt). My thermometer readings are at 80 degrees on the cool side, 92-95 degrees on the warm side (thermometer probe is under the warm side hide) and depending on where the water bowl is, the humidity ranges from 57% to 61%. I'm using newspaper as a substrate (2 layers). I also have two hides (one on each side). I will be using binder clips to keep the lid on tight.



Is there anything I have forgotten to do? I have been testing this setup for a few days, and hope to get a BP within the next week or so. I value opinions and want to be ready as much as possible.

Thanks,
Jeff
