Love at first sight! (my first BP)

I use Repticarpet only on the warm side. I cut it into peices a little larger than the footprint of the hide and use it as an additional barrier. If you do this just make sure that the substrate you cover it with is not too thick so the heat will radiate. I just change out the the Repticarpet each week when I clean the cage and change substrate. Then I wash the carpet and put it back in line for future use...

I always use Repti-carpet, and put substrate on top, like you, however I use aspen. I actually have two repti-carpets, when I clean I grab the edges and pull most of the substrate up all at once, and then replace the Repti-carpet with a clean one, and then I clean the dirty one. Its a pretty useful system, and never had any problems with it. Your set up looks fine!

Also consider the cheesy background/foamboard idea stolen! I will most likely be using it in the near future.

Thanks everyone!

The cool whip containers are also now replaced, he really didn't seem to like them. I think they must not have been dark enough inside.

Yeah, I have two repti-carpets too - the package I bought came with two of them. Convenient!
And lol, feel free to steal it! I felt kind of silly at first since I know my snake isn't fooled into thinking he's in a jungle, but I think it just looks nice.
