    Question Is this everything I need for a T8?

    Im posting this thread because the main person i ask for advice, well, his inbox is full hahah

    Hey everybody, I'm going to be getting an Animal Plastics T8 model and I was just wondering if I have everything I need. (this isn't including the hides or substrate, this is just the basis for the T8)

    AP t8 w/ sliding doors
    AP Flourescent light (1)
    AP pop in/pop out divider (1)
    Reptile Basics 80 watt RHP (1)
    Reptile Basics 11" flex watt (2). (with cables and clips)
    Hydrofarm thermostat for the flex watt and RHP (2)
    Acu-rite thermometer w/ probe

    P.S. My snake is going to be only about 6 weeks old, that's why I'm getting the divider, I'm only going to have one snake.

    This is off the top of my head so if there is anything I missed please inform me
    I would love to hear from some T8 owners

    I'm also interested in the T8... I got a question though. Are the lights really necessary? I thought BPs didn't like or need bright light in their enclosures.

    Also feet for the cage. I used the stick on furniture ones from Walmart I found them in the tool section.

    Also a lamp timer so he has a constant day/night schedule.

    Lol yeah I forgot about feet! That's desperately needed.
    I got the timer too, just forgot to add that in there. Is there anything else that's needed?
