hey we just got a pair. It's better to have the height than the floor, for starters. The substrate should be moss and/or bark, to keep up humidity (it should always be damp, not wet, and no condensation up the glass) live plants are good, sanseveria is great. I use cola bottle caps taped to the glass high up for calcium, and bits of fruit. For climbing I give them bamboo (twice their width so fully supporting them), and have rubber wood (bare indian wood) branches also, and some bark. They have a heat mat (outside the viv, on the wall), a basking bulb (inside, one corner of viv) a UV strip (5.0minimum, inside is better, running across both cold and hot parts). I also have a water fountain, helps keep the humidity up, but a dripper maybe easier.. I also have loads of plastic plants for hiding places and moss in a pot just in case..
