You can get a lot of info by goooooogling

BTW that bad boy you got there eats rattlesnakes for breakfast he's real mean
I hope you're joking about him being mean
I had planned to get a corn... but ended up coming out with this little guy instead. Couldn't resist!

I've been doing loads of googling, but there's so much conflicting information posted online that I'm none the wiser
I'm most concerned with setting up the viv at the moment.
I got this starter set:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/KOMODO-U4510.../dp/B002UDXHMI
I've currently got the heat mat stuck to the bottom of the viv on the outside and I'm not sure if it's warm enough inside, even running full pelt without a thermostat.
The floor directly above the mat feels really quite toasty, but the air temperature doesn't seem to be going above 23 degrees. Is that a problem if the substrate is warm enough?
If I lay a thermometer on the substrate above the mat it's reading 30 degrees .

Not quite sure how much and how often I'm supposed to be feeding him either yet.
He was last fed on Saturday, so I guess I've got a few days to figure that one out.

And he wouldn't make much of a handbag, needs fattening up a bit first!
