Rainbows are great, they just need really high humidity

Good luck!

ok, it says a cage of 4*2*2 for adults, temps from 75-83 F humidity level of 75% or more. Do they need to be cooled down at night or keep the hot and cool spots the same as day time?

It also says to cool down for breding time, but to what temps?

i don't want to get any if i can't properly take care of them, please tell me if this is right care for them, or if i would need to do more.

No, they don't necessarily need to have cooler temps at night, although it won't hurt if it drops a few degrees. Also, you can get away with a 4x2x1 cage for an adult, although 4x2x2 gives them a little more vertical room...

I'm building mine at 48x24x18 (4x2x1.5) and sealing the inside with marine enamel. I'll have the pics posted in less than a week when I finish building them.
