cypress substrate an inch deep, a "climbing" branch" water dish 2 hides, one on the 88-90 degree side one on the 80-85 degree side, i lower temps to 73-78 degrees at night hes on a counter right past the entrance to my room im usually the only one passing the tank, plastic foliage its a 20 gallon. I attempt to feed him in a plastic tub. I don't have a scale to weigh him with but hes about 15 inches fully extended. humitidy is between 50-60 percent 95% of the time. I think some of my problems might be from petsmart having force fed him everytime he was scheduled to eat. not sure.
