I have read multiple care sheets, some better than others. Tank is now at 82 degrees and stable! Going to walmart to pick up batteries for my second thermometer as well as a misting bottle. When the ranco comes in the only question I have is what type of tape to use I was going to go with just electrical tape but might use something else open to suggestions.

Thank you alex!
Mike btw =] nice to meet you!

Again this is why I ask questions and do research before purchasing any animals. Once my tank is fully set up I will again refer back to the care sheets and triple check everything.
