Any Tips?

Get rid of the light bulb immediately.

Replace it with a thermostat that is plugged into an undertank heater (or flexwatt heat tape).

Do not use a tank; instead, use a tub.

Make sure you are measuring temperatures with a digital thermometer, such as the acu-rite ones.

This is what I personally recommend for you to have the best and least stressful experience with bp. Also, there are stickies on this website that cover the care of bp more elaborately.

Just to add on, the thermometer/hygrometer thing is at wal mart and its only 12 bucks. If you wanna stick with the tank then make sure you cover three of the sides. Depending on where you live, you might want to do some work on the top to keep humidity in. Once you figure out the humidity in your tank, do a search and you'll find some good articles for keeping humidity up in a tank. The foil treatment one by Argentra (sp?) is awesome and worked great on my set up.
