I have a cherry head. He is still very small....3 in.....so I have him in a 55 gal virvarium. There is a mixture of forest floor (bought in the pet store) mixed with top soil, and it is about 6 in. deep. I planted small rose of Shannon, and some spring mix..tropical moss...chicks and hens. on one side is a half log with long fibered moss under it. That is the hot side. On the cool side I have another little house (but I just bought a small water fall to hold the humidity a little better). On the top of the cooler side I have a long florescent uvb light, and on the hot side there is a heat emitter. They are over a screened top with a glass cover in between. The hot side is stable at 86-90 degrees. The cool side is stable at 76-79 degrees. The humidity holds steady at about 80. You have to water the plants so the humidity stays pretty good. Of course it will only be good for about 2 years. I feed greens for two days, and then fruit the third day. Then greens for the next two days....etc.
