thanks for the info! this is helping alot!

I bought my tank this morning and the astro turf stuff. and reptile-bark made form douglas fir.

I also will be picking up the heating pad after work and some caves and water bowl.

two questions..

how big a water bowl should I get? A bigger one will help with humidity right?

and I am not sure still what lamps I should get for the top of the cage, what do our lovely bp's prefer? the infrared or what?

and I understand I should have two bulbs? which one should be on the hot side and which one should be on the cooler side? thanks for all your assistance so far!
