    he weights about 530g and its a indoor enclosure, a plastic tubs about 25X17X8 that I got from lows. I don't turn off heat lamp at night so the temp is always around 90F. and for UV bulb I use zoo med 10.0 UVB mini compact fluorescent.

    I put the probe right under the heat lamp. I have another heat pad under the hide area which is always warm. for the heat pad I did not connect it to the temp controller. for humidity I'm going to change him into a bigger container then I will put a water blow in it.
