I was shopping in Canadian funds(opps) and I was shooting a little high. Not everyone has the tools or know-how to build a suitable enclosure so I didn't include that option. I don't think it would be a good idea to give someone with a fixed budget and very limited experience a low-ball estimate.
Turn out they have more funding and experience than the first post let on...
Thanks though 
>>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.
