Judging from your name, I’m guessing you own a Leo, am I correct?

Anyway, same basic set up as a Leo, but more humidity and I’ve heard bed-a-beast and repti bark are good substrates to keep the humidity up.

I personally wouldn’t keep ANYTHING in a little ready made "habitat" and I honestly think 10/20 gallon tanks look a lot better than those plastic things anyway.

Just make sure it’s big enough (if you use it). :)

And on the 10 crix a day, just feed it as much as it will eat in around 20/30 minutes.

I don’t personally own an AFT, so I’m just repeating what I’ve read, if anything I said was wrong PLEASE correct me. :)

Happy Herping!

I just got mine today, I’m so excited!

Anyway, I don’t believe they’re climbing creatures. Although, neither are my leos and my climb EVERYTHING. So it’s mainly up to you. And I know what you’re talking about with the habitat, they’re kinda cool, but I like something you can really see in to and can make your own design.

I have my (brand spankin’ new) AFT on this "jungle mix" stuff. I packed it down pretty good. I wouldn’t personally put it on peat moss. But I’m sure you could accent the cage with it. I did. :)

Anyway, good luck!

I got mine from a local pet shop. It’s all your personal choice where to get it. Because some online places are good/bad as well as pet stores.

Mine is a little skinnier than I would have hoped, but you dan always fatten them up...
