Hi Ron...& Welcome....Ahhh....lots of days ahead for you at the local do-it-yerself hardware store!! Im assuming your igs are adults...you'll need to set up several(each ig) basking stations; shelves and ramps or ladders with either wall mount fixtures like those motion detector type fixtures for outside...humidifier(essential)to maintain the humidity secured so igs can't get at it. Need your uvb tubes and fixtures secure and within 12 inches of igs...Night time heat source...like che's (ceramic heat emitters) or radiated oil heater or infared reb/blue heat lamps....maybe rheostats hooked up to self control heat. Some basking shelves near the windows...so they can "watch" hopefully sun doesn't hit it....if so leave window open secure the screen during hotter days. This will provide long hours of amusement for your igs. Actually the sky's the limit...in designing free roaming room. Essential that any electrical anything is not accessible (igs can't climb on it or touch it)Hideboxes, human heating pads, mortars trough or large cat litter pan for soaking and pooping (fill it only a few inches for easier disposal ;o)Other's here will help ya soon
Sorry Im outta sorts...tired & cranky working nights again!! but hoping this helps ya somewhat..
