you should try and stay away from aquariums. you can get nice screen cages for babys. i currently have 4 jackson all in 18x18x36 cages with UVB baulbs. i have a pro mist auto mister with a ultra fine misting head (very sweet)that mist for 2 mins twice a day. i feed them every few days with crickets and roaches from a colony i set up. the tanks have lots of plants and perches near the heat lamps which i have on a timer with the lights for 12 hr on and 12 hr off. i have had them in this set up for a year now and every one looks happy. hoope this helps.

My Pro Mister cost $190. But that is for misting 3 tanks with upgraded nozzles. The bare bones system is $129. And it is worth every penny. It can run dry and won’t catch fire like other cheaper setups. I use distilled water to keep from having to clean the nozzle so often. Set up is really easy and once it was set up I have only had to fill the bucket with water every month. I personally love it.
