recommended setup for GTP baby?

[Clownfishie]

Just wondering what would make a good setup for a GTP baby...

size/type of enclosure?
substrate?
humidity level?
etc...

Also -- is there any good books out there on GTPs? Don't think that I've seen anything...

Thanks :)

We put our baby GTPs in tall rubbermaid with a drain in the bottom. We have 2 perches, one lower the other higher with a heat cord through it. The cord is set up to a reostat to regulate te temp. We spray them at night and when the too much water accumulates at the bottom or when they defecates, we simply drain it out. We set up a rack that holds about 20 babies. Hope that helps:)

I'm new to this... What kind of heat cord would you run through the perches?? For that matter, what kind of perches would you use? I'm thinking (in the future) of getting a GTP and I'm trying to get all the info I can! Thanks a bunch!!

KaHane,

Would it be possible for you to elaborate on the drain configuration. I would also love to see pictures if it is not too much trouble. Thanks.

Thanks for the links :) I've already found that site, and there's definitely a bunch of great info on there... and the baby setup that he has is a definite possibility...
