    Re: First BP - How long before feeding?

    How would I be sure he is comfortable with his new home?

    I spent quite a while researching the proper care needed for a BP on the boards here so I'm pretty confident in husbandry, but if anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears.



    Setup:
    20G L Critter Cage with sliding/locking top
    2 one foot strips of 11" flexwatt - one warm side one cold side
    Herpstat 2 to regulate flexwatt - probes are between the flexwatt and the glass bottom
    2 Digital thermometers - probes resting over flexwatt inside the tank
    1 100W CHE in 8.5 in lamp controlled by built-in rheostat
    HygrosetII - calibrated hygrometer - measures ambient temp and humidity
    Cypress mulch - 100% from zoo med
    2 identical medium hides from reptile basics
    Ceramic water bowl
    Decor from local pet store
    Plexiglass covering 3/4 of the screen top

    Current temps/measurements:
    Cold side @ substrate: 82
    Hot side @ substrate: 92
    Ambient: 79
    Humidity: 50
    *substrate measured with temp gun
