Concerns About Terrarium Set-Up

[Lija]

Hi and welcome to the forum. I'll correct Elli a bit, humidity should be 70-80, I like to have it at 75 ti have some room for the error.

if he was in store for a good 1-2 months.... And is 1-1,5" - would you pls post a pic ( photobucket or similar)
For that size of the pacman big crickets might be too big. The size shoud be no bigger then the distance between the eyes.

You gotta do some shopping:
proper gauges to measure humidity and temps. Digitals are the best, regular home ones from Walmart, Home Depot, etc are fine. You have to know exact readings!
heat lamp - infrared (50w) or ceramic heat emitter, both are fine to have all day and night.
Fogger and hydroterm ( be about 100$ for both), not must haves but a huge headache saver for you. If you plug a fogger and a heat source into hydroterm you will never worry about humidity or temps.

NEVER let dry the substrate to the point it's dust! It's very very dangerous in so many levels, especially for babies. Yhe substrate has to be wets but never mud like. When you soak clock fiber, you squize the water, that's aboyput how it should be at all the times.

im probably forgetting smth.... Was a very long day for me
