Sure, I’m new here too (not to reptiles), this is my current set-up:Originally Posted by KWAddict
-exo-terra med low terrarium (24x18x12) with zoo-med UTH connected to herpstat 1 redline (hot side 88-92F, cool side 77-82F)
-exo-terra 24” light fixture with 2-25 watt daytime heat bulbs + 1-25 watt night time bulb – my house it kept cool (65-68F) so I do need these bulbs to keep the ambient temp up – they provide a very low light level, which I also wanted for this “display” (preferred a glass terrarium, not a collector, 1 BP, no sweater tub)
-I cut 3 pieces of 1/8" opaque plaskolite/acrylic and pressure fit them precisely into the exo-terra screen cover (just 3 of the 4 sections, left the hot spot open). This helped maintain humidity above 50% in dry NJ; I also switched from cypress mulch to eco-earth and added a bit of sphagnummoss to get closer to 70%
- For cage clutter, have a zoo-med medium hide (hot side), water dish & large grape-wood jungle gym covered w/plants (on cool-side) - bunch of other crap I can add here too... I use an exo-terra combo-meter, accurite combo, and an IR gun for monitoring temp/humidity.
I took a couple photos of my initial set-up in my post from last week:

I am planning to cover the sides too - just figuring out what would look best.
