I'm in the Portland area, about 30 miles SW. My initial set up is going to be a 20L with a IR lamp and a UTH. I'll be using cypress for the substrate, with a couple of hides, a water dish, etc. I'm actually not feeling too stressed about it right now, just wanting to make sure that the little 'guy' (not sure, but 90% certain it's male) is as comfortable as he can be.

BTW, if anyone is looking, I bought a brand new 20L tank at PetCo yesterday for $20 on sale. That's the cheapest I've seen a new tank, and even with a screen top purchased, its about $20-$30 less than what I was looking at elsewhere. I believe the sale ends today, so if you want one, you'll need to jump on it. I'm assuming this is everywhere, not just the one in McMinnville . . .
