MsCarter, I went with a 3D background from universal rocks. I didn't get the ledge background (too expensive with shipping costs), but the one I ordered has a nice rocky effect, and should work well. I can't wait to see it.
I would like to try something homemade, but maybe a simpler project would be best for a beginner. Maybe I can make a dig box...
I got the cage ordered from BigAppleHerp yesterday. Very pleased with them so far, and am estimating that I might get my cage in abouut two weeks(it and the stand are both customized orders, so take longer). They're under hurricane warning at the minute though, so there could be delays.
I've ordered rocks (fake) and driftwood branches, and got my CHE and basking bulb ordered from lightyourreptile. The UVB arrived from lightyourreptiles and came packaged very well. I plugged it in to check it works - I actually kinda expected it to be brighter, but I think it is working okay. Light domes are on their way, plus food dish. Calcium and vitamin supplements also came today.

I hope my basking bulb will be okay in this dome - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005OCWP1Q
I can't wait to get everything setup, and I'll be sure to take lots of pictures.
