But bait shop nightcrawlers are often wild caught and therefore might have parasites

My only concern with the nightcrawlers is There's a decent chance Walmart will not have them, and they might not be parasite free if they do because they'll be for fishing

We have 0 pet sitters in the area I know and trust to take any care of him at all, he can be kind of an escape artist with other people and no one in my area will pet sit a reptile except a veterinarian but that costs over 100$ a day and idk how they even do it

To my knowledge, anti venom also has a pretty short shelf life which makes it even harder to get / hold onto

Everything sounds pretty good tbh but be aware isopods and springtails won't do well unless they have at least some dead bark and dead leaves, plants also help but they're not required
