I'm prepping for the arrival of an atb. It is a small spindly little worm. It's still a few weeks from arriving so I have some time to get things in order.

His cage

planted 24x18x24 exo terra
CHE back left corner
mist king mister
T5HO dual bulb fixture
temp/hygro on cold side, with the carpet a 90f basking spot gave a 80f cold side

The cage is half disassembled right now after moving my carpet. I'll add pictures later. I need more plants but my brown thumb isn't giving me a lot of success. I'll be adding a lot more perches and climbing opportunities.

I do have a few questions.

What should the hot side temp be?
What humidity range should it be?

My atb's hot side hovers at around 87-88 with the cold end being in the high 70's. His humidity cycles from 50-60% baseline and goes to 80-90% after misting. I mist twice daily and allow it to dry out in between. They're amazing snakes and I'm sure you'll love it. Be sure to get some pics up when you get the little demon ;)
