See how the eating goes first. I have a 55 also, that was given to me. I struggled to get everything right, but its there. I have a late 08 hatchling, so he's tiny, but he's eating well. You really need and under tank heater. I don't use my lamp at all because it sucks too much humidity out. I have three hides in there too. I had to put one in the middle because i think its a lot of work going from one side to the other, and I would catch her sleeping in the middle of her cage. Let me know if you have any trouble. I can send you pics if you want.
