Also I dont know if you plan on putting him into a bigger tank at some point and I dont know if you can afford one but I was looking at the carpet in there and I would recommend going to some non textured shelf liner from Home Depot -- it would be alot cheaper to clean and only replace once - get the size of the tank and go and look for the shelf liner - you want something w/ texture not smooth - its easy to clean w/ vinegar/ water in a spray bottle 50/50 mixed and insects cannot get underneath --
