Ok I am getting ready to get the incubator and have that figured out.

Now for the hatchlings to take care I was wondering if I could out them in plastic boxes, underneath a UTH on one side with a thermostat. Is this good?

I will use kitchen towel paper, will mist once a day, give them eating small crickets, What about the hide box? How can I make a cheap one?

thanks

I use a margarine container with a entrance hold on top filled with damp vermiculite in it for cooling.They like a dark moist hide.And for the warm hide u can do the same thing with the margarine container but throw the lid away ,cut an entrance on the side of the container and place it upside down on the warm end.if you keep the moist hide moist you only have to mist the container once every 3 days
