I highly recommend having your enclosure up and running before you go. It gives you a chance to trouble-shoot any husbandry concerns without the risk of putting your new arrival's health in danger right out of the gate. I personally have any new enclosures I'm not familiar with up and running for at least two weeks before I am confident they are where they need to be. Even if I purchase another of an enclosure style I already own, I run it for a week or so just to be sure. I do tend to be a little bit over the top about these kinds of things, but it has served me well so far!

Also, to the site!
Thank you for the advice! That what I was leanine towards, but I wasn't sure if I was being ridiculous.
