Shannon,

I keep my babies in shoe box sized rubbermaids. I use regular heat pads but only a 1/3 of the container is placed over it, set at low. Newspaper on the bottom. Fill half the container with well dampened moss which is placed over the heat pad. I use small clay, shallow, dishes (what the pot sits in to catch water) as a hide (carefully knock out part of the side for an entrance)on the cool side. Change the newspaper frequently as it will get sodden. If you get any mold, clean the container with a weak bleach solution, rince thoroughly and start with fresh moss. You can move them into bigger rubbermaids as they age. My adults are kept in a large display (6'Lx4'Hx3'W). They do like to roam about at night and love to climb.

Paul
