to the site,

I would probably try a mouse hopper rather than the pinky as suggested - you will be amazed watching these guys eat.

Have a look at our caresheet and see if anything pops out you want to ask questions about.

The main suggestions I can think of is the addition of a thermostat rather than a dimmer to keep things a little more even and I would discontinue the night time temp drops as they are really only used for bringing them into breeding condition.

I would also try and keep the cool end around 80-83 if you can and add a second hide on the warm end. They really will choose security over temperatures so a second identical hide lets them have the best of both worlds.

I wouldn't bother too much about light cycles as most people find the ambient light in the room to be enough but a moonglow or similar for nightime viewing is a handy addition.

Oh and make sure the tank is escape proof - these guys leave houdini in the dust.
