Dies anyine know of a good care sheet? Fom what i have gathered they need a 36x24x24 inch cage. 40 to 70 percent humidity,
86-78 degree temps. A few horizontal perches in varying distances from the heat lamp. Eco earth substrate and a water bowl. Any help is appreciated.

Higher cage as a tree-dwelling species. Also 40% humidity is way too low, go for 60-70%. Other than that, sounds good.

RHP not heat lamp. Heat lamps are a major annoyance for nocturnal animals. an RHP will give you much better heat anyways.
 
A higher cage isn't necessary as they don't really move up & down in the trees all that much in the wild rather they mostly move from perch to perch. Some keepers don't even use a substrate rather they just have a small amount of water on the bottom to help with the humidity.

Also, you can use a ceramic heat emitter instead of a heat bulb if you don't want to spring for a RHP.
