An enclosure that will be big enough in a year $100-$500
Heat lamp with bulb $20-$50
Fixture for fluorescent light $20-$100
Bulb for UVA/UVB light $40-$80 (every 6 months)
Insects & Greens for food $15-$50 (every month)
Substrate and furniture for enclosure $10-$100
Possible Vet visit $50-$100
etc.
Wow, where are you shopping? An enclosure big enough in one year can be made for less then $50. I made a two cage shelf type thing for about $80. Heat lamp with bulb, $5 for the fixture, and if you do it right, bulbs are $2.50 each.
Bulb for Uv, around $20, fixture $10.
Substrate for a baby, $2 a month. Furniture you can get for free if you want to do it that way.
