Really want to switch, taking some steps first

[danielwilu2525]

Sammy has been on live ever since I got him, however a small scratch on his head from a live rat pup was more than enough to let me know it's time to switch. So I want full chances of him getting converted. So my plan is that I'll use a new substrate (by the way, which ones are the best for extra "security"?) since paper towels good but it leaves him exposed (aka more stress since he is in a exposed tub with no rack). Also more hides. I made the wrong choice of buying the water/hide all in one thing, and I believe he doesn't recognize it as a water bowl since I'm starting to see a bit of wrinkles, I'll just pick up a stand alone bowl. So I heard that flower pot saucers do WONDERS. So I'm gonna use those for maximum security. So this is basically my first step at converting him to F/T or basically just fixing my husbandry. Right now his temps are perfect but I just want to be prepared for the convertion. What do you guys think? Is my plan a yay or a ney? Probably unnecessary.
