Question on the Plastic Cup in the cage. I do see a cup and my guess is this is what catches the dripper at the bottom? You also said she likes to climb the sides and lid and has had a few spills here and there. The cup looks a little too deep. A lid from a plastic storage box is good...

Soil: One thing is to buy from a Nursery that has had the plant for atleast a couple of weeks or even a month or longer is better but hard. A nursery that does not use pestisides on their plants. Ask your nursery for top soil that is not fertilized. Fake leaves are great for enclosure...

Well yes Mesh can be hard to keep the humidity up but that is where live plants and misting come into play. Their fake plants and water dishes they use themselfs is no right way to do it. But with a mesh and the proper setup with live plants and misting either by pressure mister or by a...

Turns white.. Get a pic of this.. I bet you are about to see her first shed. But white while she sleeps?

Yes a heat source is needed a temp in the basking spot needs to be around 86 degrees for a young one. Making sure no contact with the bulb. Some people just use 75 watt house bulbs that they lay right on top in a fixture. I perfer to use speciality spot lamps that also produce UVA but keep...

For now yes but also raise if off the top becasue compact bulbs do have some serious problems. Get the ReptiSun 5.0 Tube as soon as you can. What are you using for basking? Also are you suplimenting at all by dusting and gutloading your crickets? Brown color is fine.. Mine like to go...

Nope no concern if they change all the time..

There are several ways to do this. One a air radio transmitter and reciver. Recivers can be screw into lamps that the bulb screws into and/or wall outlets that you would plug table lamps into or other electronic devices into to control. These run on standard air waves that are common in baby...

The fist picture I see at the top of your post shows some very dark to black lines across the top of her head. Was this just camera shot or is that color there all the time?

You can take that 6 months to read the book but I would take all the responces here on this form much more seriously then any information you will find on any book. Personally I have not seen anyone recommend a book here and all the info that is posted around is based on experience of avid...

Yes order them small they grow FAST!

Lighting: Since he was in a cage with only a Heat Lamp then sure enough you should be concerened about MBD since heat lamps do not emit UVB (D3) and if the lamp emitted anything other then heat it was UVA. Since he was in Pet Smart care for however long I doubt he was exposed to UVB at all...

Yes Ficus Sap which comes from the stems and not the leafs is bad. If you see white sap then remove the plant until its dried up. The leaf itself is not harmful either dry or fresh. The sap in the stems is harmfull. In no sap is present then there is nothing to fear. Eating the leafs is normal.

Eyes don't look bad at all. I would make sure you get in his D3 supliments because I seriously doubt PetSmart was keeping that supliment at a good level. Avoid MBD from their lack of care. Oh and the dried leaf is nothing to seriously worry about as long as it was not subject to mold. A...

What about the 5.0 and 5.2 combo that mesure UVA & UVB?
