Default What kit do I need for an APH?

I've been ordered to find the things needed for an APH, but I can't be bothered reading through caresheets. What is needed for a baby APH?

There are several different housing options - take a look at this thread http://www.reptileforums.co.uk/exoti...-pictures.html

Mine eats chicken based cat biscuits, cooked chicken, cooked mince and carrot.

He has a flying saucer wheel for exercise and sleeps on fleeces and loves shredding blue roll paper.

I have mine in an indoor rabbit hutch but we have extended it so he has more room to run around in.

They do make a lovely pet and need to be handled everyday.

Shes 17, and shes researched it. I've been asking her questions about the husbandry (without actually knowing about it myself, not that she knows that, hehehe). I wouldn't be doing this for her if I didn't think she was capable of looking after it. All she said was "I don't know where to find this sort of thing, and you seem capable of finding any animal in the world. Can you get me the stuff so I don't get ripped off"

And thank you, the information I require without the interrogation

I understand you want to make sure the animal isn't going to be left in a shoe box and fed cigarette ends, but come on...
