And thanks guys!! I'm ridiculously excited. I just went and gathered my isopods today, they're now happily living in a little plastic container until I'm ready for them. I'll order a springtail culture and my millipedes once it's closer to the finish. I would just use local millipedes, but I just spent 4 hours searching for them, and all I found were salamanders, banana slugs, and ticks. Which are cool, lol, but NOT what I'm looking for. (The ticks aren't cool, though. )

Oh, and I guess I should have made that clearer- Pineapple isn't going to live in here, lol. I'll have a colony of 3-4 female cresties that I'll pick up at the herp show I'm going to in September. I'll eventually have a male, too, but he won't live in there constantly. (Don't want to stress the girls!)
Check all hardware stores in your area.
Around here aquarium silicone is around $20 for a small tube at pet supply retailers but, at Home Hardware I can get 3 tubes of aquarium silicone for a standard caulking gun for under $15. A substantial savings. Just don't expect the employees to know what you need for sure, check that it is in fact aquarium grade for yourself before buying.
