What are some things you wish you knew before getting your first?

3 words... convertible moist hide. Moist hide that you can make dry at a moment's notice. Appropriate sized blacked out tupperware container, entrance hole, keep lid, use damp sphagnum moss. I introduce this to the tank (20 gal tall) everytime I see a cute lil pink belly. Keep it warm and she uses it as she sees fit. Her last shed took place INSIDE of the hide. Day after shed remove old skin with damp moss, clean and dry hide, reintroduce to tank and voila! To hell with fussing over bumping humidity levels for shed to then drop them after lol... I live in FL so humidity levels are typically right in normal range. Something to consider if you're further north.
