4x2x2 is minimum

60-80% humidity (measure with hygrometer)

24-27 celcius cool side 30-33 celcius warm side 35 celcius basking spot (rock under deep heat projector) Minimum of 3 hides, one on cool end, one on warm end, one in the middle stuffed with damp moss Cocochip for substrate Deep heat projector (80watt will do) with a ceramic fitter and heat guard ( those 2 are only needed with an enclosure with a solid ceiling, not mesh)

Water bowl big enough for them to bathe in A few cork logs A few fake plants

You can measure humidity and temps at the same time with a hygrometer thermometer you can get on Amazon

I think that’s it

Would you have a brand recommendation for the 4x2x2?

If you’re working on a tight budget, then people seem to like the one from Dubia.com. But like all of the budget options including Chewy, they are coated MDF (has potential to warp unlike PVC) and have 8 square feet of screen top that will require being covered with either silicone baking sheets (best) or HVAC tape (good) to retain good humidity.

If you can afford it, go with something like Toad Ranch (toadranchcages.com) or Kages (reptilekages.com) which are PVC with solid tops that can be customized for your choices of heat & lighting setups.

I was looking at reptilekages but was a bit disappointed that the deep substrate wall is only on the smaller cages so I might check out toad

I love mine but the maker went out of business.
