I have been checking out things as you said and have been checking out those Waterland tubs. I have kept/bred Blue tongue skinks for years and they lend themselves to being able to go away on vacations etc. w/o problems(lites and heat on timers some times turned off like you said)

I wouldn't want to jump into this haphazard if I were to do it all. Is feeding a daily event or can greens etc. be kept on hand for a few days and earthworms let loose into part of the substrate to be eaten at leisure? (one site said a 50/50 of potting soil and mulch was a good substrate. Like you mentioned with your humidity problems, if I can't do this right I'll pass. My cellar also is kept at 60* for the winter and turned up to 70* when doing projects/laundry etc.(cages heated independently)I have recently downsized and am enjoying keeping the few rather than the many. Don't want to get enslaved to too demanding an animal.

Thanks very much for your time!
Bob.
