To clarify for those who don't know what it is....its the textured plastic material that you normally see covering the lower parts of walls in restrooms and sometimes in commercial kitchens. Very thin, lightweight, and durable. Looks nice too.

I'll give this a test run, and if I notice any problems, I'll go and look for some. So far, everything seems to be going well. But, I can definitely get some to put on the shelves, and maybe cover the wooden hides when they get done. Or, could I make the hides out of the plastic?
I was testing the humidity and temperatures for a little over 24 hours before putting him in the enclosure, first without bedding and hides, and then with them. I have the thermostat set at 80-85F with the probe at the bottom of the enclosure, and I'll be putting a shelf below the RHP so he can get the higher temperature basking spot. The humidity was 70-75% when I first put the bedding in, and now two days later it's down to 60-65%, and staying steady. This is a good level of humidity, but, despite this, he's been spending all of his time in his water dish. He hasn't left it since I put him in his enclosure. I checked for mites, but he came out clean. The water's clear, and I didn't find any crawling on him. Is he maybe just taking advantage of the fact that he now has a big enough dish to soak in?
