So far I have

Flukers little driper
Flukers vitamin : calcium and calcium w/d3
Fake Plants replacing with live as soon as I find a nice Photos
Fake Vines medium Exoterra
20 oz bottle to spray mist
Hydrometer
Hygrometer
Cricket Keeper
Gut Load Cricket Drink with Calcium

Ordered from LLL Reptiles today

is one of their Screen enclosures 24x24x48

Here are few extra things you might need along with some things you might not need.


Reptiglo 5.0 24" fixture
100 watt Basking dome light Save money and just use incandescent bulbs
Flukers little driper
Flukers vitamin : calcium and calcium w/d3
Fake Plants replacing with live as soon as I find a nice Photos
Fake Vines medium Exoterra
20 oz bottle to spray mist
Hydrometer more of a luxury if you ask me
Hygrometerassume you meant thermometer?
Cricket Keeper Cricket death trap. Consider a storage bin with fabricated screen sides. Better ventilation.
Gut Load Cricket Drink with Calcium food scraps works wonders as well.


Be creative. You will be fine

Ok thanks

I already have the basking light, so I already spent money.

Yep sorry I meant Thermometer and so I can read humidity, not too worried have a couple of fish tanks in the same room.

I was thinking of using the Cricket keeper for the crickets I was going to Gut Load a couple of days before feeding. I am thinking of using a Rubbermaid container for the crickets and drilling some holes on the top and sides. Might be ordering crickets by the masses, don't feel like making weekly trips to the pet store.

The cricket keepers aren't for crickets IMO. They have little ventilation and the crickets WILL get out.

Search gutload on the forum. Remember, NEVER use Tomato, Broccoli or spinach (Calcium oxelate=Poison) . Lettuce is also bad (No nutrients)

He's cute but small for a 48 inch cage. Be sure that he can get his food. Are you cup feeding?

Yes

If I start seeing a problem I can always move him back to his old enclosure. And just move him there after he is done eating like his Recess time. lol
