I finally got ahold of a camera (webcam, sorry Sad ) so I can post these up and ask for your opinion.

The enclosure I'm using is a mesh Apogee reptarium. 13.5" x 13.5" x 22"
Temps: 77-85F at night / 85-88F during the day.
Humidity: 57-63% natural humidity W/ humid hide <last shed was perfect Very Happy
Mat: Intellitemp for 20-30Gal
Tstat: BAH1000. < This actually works for me. Right out of the box.
Therm/Hygo: RadioShack's Indoor-Outdoor with probe.
Hides: 4 :: 2 caves, a paper roll just because he likes it and a humid hide.
Substrate: Aspen

These are the tempatures where I live! I do not use heating unless I have the AC on, in which case I have a plastic liner to block off all sides of the cage but 1/2 of one (so it doesn't get cold air-currents) and a UTH which keeps the right side of the cage at a constant 85-90F.

Provided pictures, please tell me if I need to correct or improve on anything. This is my first set-up so any pointers are greatly appreaciated. I want my babe's life to be as good as it can under my care.

<My probes, Tstat and thermo.


Bonus?
It may seem like I am using a basking light but I'm not, its simply the light of the webcam, no annoying white glow here.
