You don’t have to, but certainly could if you are able to put in the effort to set one up properly. I’d double check biodude’s website to see if their kits are in stock (i think they were low or out of stock recently).
The Biodude also has a youtube channel you can check out. Look for the dry dessert setups, I took lots of inspiration from those for my bioactive dessert locusts....
Sir Henry the dragon
Looking for his dragon girl
Ventures out in to the wide world
His hopes are up but as you can see
There is no dragon girl for Sir Henry
A light bulb goes off and he takes mom aside
Could you perchance get me a mail order bride ?
