Keep in mind that the proper distance is critical with mercury v.bulb...cham.can easily be burned,also the bulb can't be set at an angle,need to be straight down...lots of directions on package insert...so if you go with a shorter tank,the merc.v.bulb will have to be some distance from the basking spot in order for the cham. not to be burned ...and go with no substrate for the reason alread ymentioned by kinyonga and also bacteria can grow if you get substrate wet from dripper.Crickets will benefit from any leafy greens and you can feed them any leftover fruit you may eat instead of throwing away[occasionally,like apple core,cantaloupe rind,etc,just take any un-eaten fruit daily]More veggies though,they are more nutritious.You can also offer your cham.leafy greens on a veggie clip attached to one of it's branches...it's good for them,too.
