unless you heat it from the bottom, most likely you will have humidity problems.

I used chicken wire and 2x4's and made a 4x8x1 box. Top is hinged. Its buried in the shed or I'd get you pics. We bring ours in no later than 3 pm in hopes to avoid lightning bugs. Other than that, no much is monitored. Give them a shade area and a water dish and you're set.

You don't "need" 4' long. You want square footage. I use 3x2's personally. We use freedom breeder euro cages. here is the four foot option if you're really stuck on the 4' idea http://shop.reptilegeeks.com/704-fb-display-case-large.html

Listed at $3.94 for 20 here.. no thanks. I'll stay with dubia

what the temps of the gradient?

Anyone know who makes them? I'd love to have many many more.

easiest way is to measure the best you can (measure long rather than short) and be prepared to trim upper dam if it doesn't fit.

growth rate is deetermined by heat and food.

I think you need to read up on flexwatt and see the numerous people who have experienced close calls with flexwatt.

Temps that result in fire occur when a spark from a short occurs. Shorts occur when the plastic of the very thin flexwatt becomes burned from heat of the tape over cycling. If the OP only wants an ambient of 85 then the flxwatt should be super safe when regulated that low. Light bulbs are just...

material is fine. Make sure you air out the enclosure well before adding a lizard. You shouldn't need a 100w bulb. Spend the extra and go with glass right away. Buy glass track and save yourself some headaches.

yep no harm.

flexwatt exceeding 95 degrees is an extreme fire hazard. I agree that is cabinet for 2 tubs is an extreme overkill. If the OP thinks its necessary, then go for it. Much more efficient idea would be to line bottom of cage with controlled flexwatt. Allow 2" space between tubs and install some...

diet depends greatly on age, sex, cycling etc. we feed our males insects once weekly. I place them in the roach bin and they eat what they can in 20 minutes. Females who are stacking on weight will get insects daily.

moss? I used sand...place it in a container with a raised lid that seals. (Bright white sand allows you to see pinheads easier and it won't mold) :wink: dampened the sand to the point it will clump like making a snowball. Place the sand egg box in a cage with chirping crickets. Leave it there...
