    I have ordered the herpstat 2. Priority shipping should have it here by Monday. The snake will be arriving on Tuesday. If the thermostat is not here by then he will hold off shipping until it is. I plan on using the herpstat for just the UTH on the tub for now. Then when the PVC cage gets here I will use the second tstat in the herpstat for the RHP and when ready to move him to the cage will move the UTH already on the herpstat over and adjust as needed.

    Immediate Needs to purchase tomorrow for tub:
    Tub
    UTH
    Humidity Probe
    Substrate
    Temp Gun
    Scale
    Water Bowl
    Hide

    Later Needs for PVC Cage:
    RHP
    2nd Hide
    LED Lighting

    Did I forget anything?

    Seems good to me, And gorgeous guy =) happy to hear you took the plunge! dont forget food in immediate =) hahah

    Aswell the herpstat 2 will work best for these 2 reasons! once you make the switch to PVC you can use both probes

    1 for RHP (get ambient temp to 80-82) and then 2nd probe for the HeatPad (to get your 90-92 hot spot) Which best heat is belly heat for BP's! You can even contact the place and they'll drill the necessary hole for probe's if you'd like! ID also suggest going to a local garden center and buying a water sprayer (little dinky hand ones suck) Pick up one of the pest control ones with the pumping top part! i love mine as i use to mist snake and Fill water bowl (i use the repti water conditioner)

    Also since doing that with heat pad (if you dont get felxxwatt/thg tape) Dont forget to place tinfoil/foil tape on the sticky part of the UTH so it is easily moved from tank to tank, and just adhere it with some foiltape/electricle tape. IF you use adhesive they provide you can damage it when pulling it off the tub.
