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....
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
