>>Thanks! I will get a light on him, but I assume the upper 80s to 90 degree temps is daytime? What is the best way to accomplish the high end temps? I can either go with UTHs or lights or both.

My brother has a light on his tank, and that seems to work ok for him. As for substrate, I'm not 100% on what's optimal. My brother uses some moss I believe, and of course paper towels are always going to be safe, so I'd probably go with those at least to start. I'll send him an email and see if I can either get some more detail from him on what's good for them or just get him to post here. Like I said, I just know what I've observed when I've been over to his place; I've never really had a detailed conversation with him on their requirements.
