Thanks for the replys, looks like I have alot of work to do-
1. Ok i understand the tank is to big, unfortunatly that is what I will be stuck with for a while. To help maintain temps I can insulate 2 sides of the tank which should help.

2. As far as air temp I bought a dial temp and humididty guage at pet store (I will upgrade to digital soon), I have them place about 4" above the substrate under the heat side of the tank. I dont plan on breeding so I will work on having a constant temp.

3. As far as humidity goes I can adjust that pretty easily, I live ina pretty wet/humid enviorment to begin with and can also make slight adjustments

4. Heating/lighting- Well here is where I get really confused, I have read that basking lights are the way to go, then read only UTH should be used..... So here is where I will really have to figure out what I need to do. So I could go with a ceramic light and leave on 24 hours a day, what about lighting? Use a flouresant UV bulb? Or would it be easier to add more UTH put both on some type of thermostat and do all my heat adjustment there? Kinda confused about this one.

Oh yes will add in a 2nd hide as well. Also great looking tank cassandra!
Well tomorrow I am off of work so I will start playing with temps and see what I come up with.
