Species and Enclosure ?'s

Ceratophrys aurita is on the way!

I called Strictly Reptiles at Mike's suggestion and Jeanne was a true pleasure to deal with!
When talking to her I asked about colors and she asked what I was after and I just said nice green
with anything else, told her I was not super picky. She said she would pick one and ship it
but not 5 minutes later she called me as she said there were such variations she really wanted
to give me the opportunity to pick and described them all and helped me make my choice!

I was buy a local shop today to get some Plantation Soil and picked up a 18X18X18 as they had a great deal on it.
I also have a heating pad, 50 w lamp and fixture, medium plastic hermit crab container and bowl/pool with the built in steps,
mister bottle, tongs & Plantation soil.
I guess the ExoTerra is going to have to sit for a few months

Anyway this is the first time I have ever kept one in a plastic container (previously I had a 10 in by 10 in glass aquarium)
and this is the first time I have ever had one shipped to me (also the first time I have truly known what sub species I am actually getting)
SO
What I am looking for is
1) Suggestion on how to handle it's arrival from the FedEx agent
2) How I should set up the plastic box (really the Exo is too big if I give him a nice hide?)
can the plastic box just sit on the heat pad?
3) Should I try and feed him later in the day tomorrow or just get him in his new home and wait till
he has his first night at his new home till I feed him.

Thanks to all of you who have posted and PMed me!!
Please keep the posts and messages coming.

How I have raised them in the past has worked BUT thats not to say I was always
right. Luckily theres now the web and these great boards to help me make this little
one as happy as possible!!
