Oh gotcha!
I think I'm going to go with perches and some larger rocks in the cage. Seeing this will be my first time using a RHP, I'd like some rocks and other items to absorb and transfer heat back out so I can up the ambient temps. I will also have an in cage light installed to assist with ambient temps.
I am trying to avoid heat lamps like we have on our glass tank.
Perches will work. I like the shelves though for 2 reasons. 1) It is both a shelf providing a climbing spot with added floor space and a place to go under to hide. 2) It is easy to clean. The choice is totally up to you and there's no right or wrong thing to use (as long as it's safe for the snake of course). I'll be honest, rocks really won't do much good in there and may just get in the way. Keep in mind that the more "stuff" you put in there means more stuff to clean. The light that is installed by either AP or ProLine won't give off much added heat, but definitely stay away from heat lamps - that's one of the most detrimental enclosure accessories you can use and will just SUCK humidity out.
Btw, are you going to go with a baby?? If so, you need to have a smaller enclosure ready. It's good to plan this out, but a baby won't be comfortable in a large enclosure until it's at least a year old. An option is to purchase this cage with a divider. But you'll need to adjust your heat sources accordingly....
