The substrate is kids play sand from bunnings and i made the background myself

Any help or advice will be taken into consideration and thought of seriously
 
They definitely like height as they are climbers. That sand is ok, although I went for the desert sand or even better is Kritters Crumble (coarse). They love to scratch around in it. Hot spot in the high 30's and as usual a thermal gradient.

I keep 7 of them, albeit in a large enclosure and have no issues. Not always the case though.

That enclosure will be ok but if u do end up changing throw in a big more height next time.
 
The setup is great although I would replace the infrared with a normal basking light (the ones from Bunnings are great) as the red colour makes it quite hard to enjoy their natural colouration.

Height is not important whatsoever as they are a desert, burrowing species, I have all my setups around 45cm high (about the same as yours) as this allows me to easily create a basking spot in the recommend range distance for the UVB.

Yeah i was actually just thinking about changing the party light to a normal bulb and think i will get some normall lights next time im at bunnings, and my tank is around 60-65cm high just if anyone is wondering
 
Ok guys here's a better photo of the tank

and I have replaced the light and all of that stuff but now that I've got the tank ready I can't find a care sheet so if anyone can please direct me to a site or another topic on here's that would be great cause I've been looking and can't really find a good realiable one
 
Ok so i have the polycarbonate and my brothers friends dad is going to be getting me a big stainless steel hinge across the bottom and a couple of new bolts and all of the small little stuff that most people wont notice but when they do it looks really good stuff, but yeah just a bit of an update
 
Ok just a bit of an update and finish. I fixed up the light changed the opening door from swinging to sliding and got my central netted :D
Here are some pics
Ps s/he's is around 3 months old and going into s/he's second shed with me
