Thanks 4 the tips u guys. I plan on purchasing a thermometer some time 2 night so that i can get an accurate read out of temps. But i know that im gonna need to get a lamp beacuse everyone in my home is addicted 2 air conditioning. i know that besides the where the uth is the rest of the encloser is to cool. YOu can just feel it. As far as substrate, newspaper is what i plan to use untill old age, cause i get one delivered everyday so its an endless supply.I already have my water bowl and 2 hides(may get some more), and i will get some kind of branch/tree into the enclosure. IVE BIN PLANNING (opps caps lock) to get a bp since about december< and since my birthday is THIS MONTH im finnally gonna get one. THANKS 4 THE INFO, KEEP IT COMMING.
