I've recently moved my JCP and Bredli into their "grownup" AP cages, see my "Perch Size?" thread for more details and pics. I agree that the AP "carpet" cage sounds a little small, but clearly the breeder its named for likes it.

Since you have the tub almost ready, I'd start her in that, with the UTH on the bottom (Even if you ordered an AP cage today you'd have to wait for it). Once you get her, you can watch her behavior and decide if she's ready for more space yet. My JCP is 2, 575 grams, just moved him out of the 24" x 24" x 16" tall cage I started him in back in October. The move was a little overdue, but our big cage order ran into a production delay.

Right now my Morelia have only RHPs in the new cages. When fall rolls around we'll see if they need UTHs, but I kind of doubt it.

Feed in the enclosure. My Morelia seem to like food presented from below, but they're definitely not fussy! I use 12" forceps, occasionally debate getting a longer pair for feeding my bredli (6-ish ft.).

We use aspen, but bedding is mostly personal choice, after humidity control.
