Re: Help me please! :D

Not from, but living there. :-)

OK, tank choice makes sense then.

I prefer Boaphiles. Animal Plastics also makes some good stuff. But plastic, opaque-walled, side-opening cages seem to work best for humidity-sensitive species.

The garden stuff is safer because you have lower parasite risk. I know people who have gotten mites from buying moss or substrate at pet stores. Plus, it's cheaper. Just ask for the organic/no additives stuff.

Nothing has to be fed live, ever. Frozen-thawed is safer, cheaper, and more convenient.

That's what I meant :P

I'm scared if i put him in a tub, the humidity will get high enough to explode hygro! jkjk

The tubs to me just feel like I'd be detached from him emotionally and I wanna look at him and be able to see him through the glass/plastic!

I'll for sure look into the substrate though. It will definitely be cheaper.

I don't know why, but I was under the impression that pinkies have to be fed live. If fuzzies don't have to be live than I'm certain that he's been raised on f/t or at least that's what he eats at the pet store now because I know they prefer feeding pre killed. I was getting a little concerned... I'd have to make someone else put a live one in there lol.
