3-humidity Unsure, it is misted 2 times a day
4-temp 74-80°F
5-water - type - for both misting and soaking dish. Same as above.
6-materials used for substrate. Bark, I know it's not right but I was just told that. That is what the pet store sold me and that's what they were in there. I am buying an exo terra soon and replacing everything.
7-enclosure set up i.e. plants( live or artificial) wood, bark etc -how were things prepared prior to being put into the viv. Not really much prep other than rinsing the moss and food/water bowl.
