As for his/her setup, it is a 20-Long with a terrarium liner (until 5-6 months old, then calcium sand), two half log hides, one at each end , a vine, a large piece of Mopani wood (favorite basking spot), and a water dish and veggie bowl. I have a 40 breeder for him to grow into as well, he'll probably move in over the summer.
For lighting, I use a 75 watt basking spot bulb in a 5.5" clamp lamp and switch it out for a 60 watt red nightlight bulb at night. For a UVB source I have an 18" Repti Glo 8.0 bulb. I plan to switch to a Compact Fluorescent bulb/clamp lamp soon, though.
I've been feeding dusted baby crickets, 5-10 per day (I try to do 2 feedings) and have been offering finely chopped romaine lettuce, carrot and peas about every other day and the little guy seems to be taking to them already.
As soon as I can charge my batteries, I'll get some pictures up here for you all!
Thanks in advance and glad to be here!

Just a note - the wax worms are quite fatty so try not to use them too much. They're pretty much beardie junk food, and can be addictive.
