 Check my Info

OK, just want to check and be sure I have everything right, before I go and buy it. Hopefully I will get my stuff this weekend, set up, and get the crestie the next, if it all goes well. Check the info I have, be sure its right please, thanks!
1) 20 gallon tall tank
2) 60-80% humidity
3) Room temperatures (around 70 give or take)
4) CGD or the like
5) a few crickets a week
6) Some artificial branches, maybe real
7) if an adult, probably eco-earth, and plant some plants in it
8) Young ones: Repticarpet or the likes, solid substrate

Everything right? Did I miss anything? I also read somewhere that cleaning poop in a tank with soil is not really neccesary, as it acts as fertilizer, but that sounds very WRONG. Is that ok, or no?

Depending on if you get a hatchling or adult, a smaller cage for a hatchling and 20 tall minimum for an adult...
I keep 70-100, never below 70%. Mist heavily in morning and allow to dry out through day and mist lightly at night...
Anywhere between 70-80...
CGD is perfect with some crix...
tons of branches, they love to hop from one to the other... lots of foliage...
paper towels as hatchling eco as adult...
Your ready... Good Luck!!!

everything looks good! i would watch him/her really carefully if you use the reptile carpet because their teeth and nails can get stuck in it, paper towel would be better because you can just change it out, but other than that everything looks great!
