In other news Zorak related, he ate a dozen dubias this morning, as well as a bunch of Phoenix worms. He looks pretty settled and knows the lay if his land,seems to have a routine starting so that's good.
I've been turning a light in the opposite corner of the room on a bit before his lights all come on. Figured it would give him some time to wake up and adjust to the lights in the morning/night.
Same thing in evening lights go off and the room light stays on for a bit before I cover the enclosure at night.

Also, I watched him drink from some leaves the dripper drips on.

Hows that egg crate holding up under the basking light, no melting?

Nope,no issues at all,but I also have it resting flat on a black screen top that raises it up off the crate a 1/2" or a bit more.

So day 2 is in the books. Starting to wonder if I should have this moved to the general threads,as I'm updating as well,hmmm.
There are lots of pictures though

Enclosure is as follows:
70-82 degrees. 82 being the basking site.
Humidity goes between 50%-80% right after a misting it spikes to 80% generally during the day it's at 55-60% and 50 at night with night Temps ranging 65-70.
He has slept in the same spot the past few nights up front on the schefflera plant displays nice sleeping colors too.
Tomorrow I am going to use a very smooth vase to place crickets in to limit escapees. But he was raised on crickets so I feel it's only proper to offer them a few times a week.
More pics tomorrow!
