OK so this is the first of what I assume will be alot of seemly stupid question but, "The only truely stupid question is the one not asked that should have been"
I went to the breeders looking for geckos, held a beautiful albino corn for about a half hour to an hour. I was scr#%^d.:grab:. Went out and got an 8 month old natural that the wife and daughter have decided will be called Eleanor. So I am scrambling to get her home set up properly, hence the questions. Right now she is in a plastic shoe box container and is eating quite well on small fuzzies. I am going to put her in a 20 gal. aquarium with a substrate of a coconut fibre (recommended by the pet store guy, most of whom appear to be circumspect :dumb: by most breeders
). I am planning on using a 50w spot on one side for both light and heat (is this enough?), a 5"x5"x1.5" container for water on the cool side, and some sticks interwoven on both side for somthing to climb on (cooked sticks for 1/2 hour at 300 degrees, enough?). Should I provide hides on 1 or both sides or will she just borrow under the substrate to hide? Also I see alot of posts about humidity for Corns but I can't seem to find that humitity level should be either % wise or as a relative thing(you know sealed like a tupperware container with water dripping off the lid), what is a good way of measuring it? The top is a 1/4" square mesh that is clipped on. I think as she gets bigger I will have to move her up to something bigger but I will have some time to design and build something by then.
Thanks for any advice and/or help in advance. I read through the care sheets but, want to perfectly clear.
PS I also got the geckos as well
