What size of mat should I get? Exo-terra has a rainforest and desert heat...is there really a difference? I have access to ZooMed Mats as well. Will providing a basking spot of 90ish keep the ambient at 82-85? If not, in a plastic tub, what other heat source....the traditional light/ceramic on top seems to me it would melt the tub. Also, pics of your hole configurations and general set up would be helpful. Also, completely opaque or translucent tub?

I'm shooting for having her in her new enclosure tonight.
