um very lucky to live in san diego California so the weather here is very stable and temps have not been any issue thus far. i have the humidity under control quite well too. i should have been more specific. what would be a cost effective way to house them as adults? as far as making my own versus buying one. thanks for all the tips.

the advice you gave me on handling the little guy is working. im wearing gloves and being very gentle while handling him. he hasnt struck at me in a few days now lol
