Given the area that it comes from, I would say slightly lower than average temps in the 75f (at the cool end of the cage) to 82f (at the warm end)range with a 8 or 10 degree night drop and low humidity (30 to 50 percent). I'm not sure how much burrowing this animal does...I think I would just use newspaper and a hide box or two. I'm sure there are some folks on here that have some experience with them, I know Dean Alesandrini has. They may be able to zero you in a little better. This is one animal that I have been considering adding to my collection, though...very impressive animals.

:::Ok so i thought i had everything all set to go. BUT,i go to wally world to pick up some of the aspen bedding and they are all out. They had some carefresh,(actually some stuff called critter care made by the same company unscented, no oils) so i thought what the heck. I set up the cage with carefreshand then begin to wonder about the supposed dehydrating effects of this stuff. Is this ok to use with 02 babies if i provide water for them or should i mist the stuff down? BTW the cage is a 15 gal short with a screen top. Any response will be appreciated. Thanks, Dave
