Here, i hope this helps out, it was posted by lukeybaby in a previous post a while back...good luck

here is a basic cycleing method
-keep enclosure colder than usual for 6-10 weeks, and cut back on food drasitically, and decrease humidity aswell, and decrease the photoperiod to 9-10 hours of light per day. and keep the water area very small.

-after that period slowly raise temps, humidity, feeding and photoperiod to about 14 hours on per day. after say a week of feeding them heavily (not to heavy), increase the water area drastically.

-i have not used a rain chamber, because it is to much effort etc, instead i like to use a big bucket full of water with little pin head size holes on the bottom, put that over your water section so the water dribbles into the water area.
