    Its really not much different from a tank. You will need some air holes, you wont know how many until you get it setup and check the humidity. Start with a few and add more if the humidity is to high. You will apply the UTH the same way, and set the thermostat to get the hot side to the proper temp. Use whatever substrate is appropriate fot you. 2 hides and water bowl. Nothing to it!
