Better to be safe then sorry. Its most likely the ones you have are harmless. I assume your using coco fiber as your substrate? It is pretty common to get nematodes when using coco fiber, especially if its going to be a very wet and humid environment. I would get them all the time with my...

Husbandry refers to the conditions your cham willd be exposed to. Such as lighting...
I like the pothos and the humidifier !! Great idea for a FR, if its not to late I would put some plastic down over your wood counter tops. I would be afraid of water drops on the wood from misting and droppings from your little guy :p
