Thank you everyone, and thanks for the referral to the forum boanerges, seems like a great place!
Good to hear about the 24/7 cycle on your ackies slayer, really good to hear, as it'd be a pain to install another recessed light with a heat emitter (ok not THAT difficult but im incompetent in that stuff!)
Big Dave - this guy was expensive, he is actually CBB and the owner got him for $900 5 months ago, but since he's been going through tough times and rehomed him to me for $300, so i got a crazy deal out of this! Every penny i saved is going towards his well-being though haha.
He is rather docile, can be flightly when you take him out of the cage just because he is little still but overall once hes on you he just sits or crawls around on your arms/head, overall he's very nice, im not touching him however for weeks just gonna let him settle in.
