Hi Chad,
I live in WPB, FL. I have my babies in a rack system. Every few in a plastic tub with a heat pad, water dish, and hide box. Everyone is happy. A lot of ppl up north have to worry a lot more about heating, etc. so they need a lot of equipment to make sure their enclosure is up to par.

Down here, we are pretty good on environment. I had a tank for awhile, wasn't for me because its harder to regulate. Good luck. :-)
