Most reptile shops & sites will sell vivs of that size. Swell Reptiles are usually the cheapest.
Play sand is the best substrate.
You need a basking bulb on a dimming stat set to 100f at the basking spot, & an Arcadia 12% UVB tube. Turn all heat off overnight.
Hi, I will just comment on heat bulbs and basking surface temps; I recommend using par 30 or par 38 halogen bulbs (MUST be flood beam, not spot) these can be fitted with a dimmer switch which makes adjusting the basking surface temp easier or obviously you can also raise/lower the bulb/s basking site instead, wattage will depend on enclosure size/type and normal room temps (I suggest trying a 100w and see what the temps are). The basking surface temp should be somewhere around 50c (120f) or a little higher, but you must also provide cooler areas. Although they should be kept with a relatively low humidity, again there should be areas (burrows/hides) where it will be higher which is necessary.
Did you get your Ornata baby?
As I have 2 babies available from a clutch of 9
