Concerns About Terrarium Set-Up

DaveyJones when Lija says you don't need to buy all this lighting she is a hundred percent right. They live on the forest floor and when the sun comes out they go under the dirt or find a nice big leaf to sit under. Mine is downstairs in the basement and the only light he gets is the little that comes through the little basement window that is covered by the window well outside and the actual basement light. And my basement is only 60 watt bulbs in the ceiling. And my point being is when that little bit of light comes on in the morning he takes off from sitting in the open and he buries himself under this plant I have with these really big leaves. And there is 2 big plants in my tank and this is the one he chooses because it blocks out almost all the light, its nice and dark under this plant. I personally think a lot of people just want the lights so they can see inside there tank better and it looks nicer sometimes all lit up then being dark gloomy during the day. So don't go out and buy all these lights and get yourself all stressed that he isn't getting enough light, that's the way he likes it.
