He/She is in quarantine for now and ate 3 med crickets. I have him set up for 80F with just a regular incandescent light, he has in between 75 and 80 humidity. Is there anything else I need? Is it better to feed mornings or night? and is it better to feed outside of the enclosure after the substrate is added? Yes I will post pictures soon, hes about the size of a quarter now and I have named him Big Mac.

You are going to want him closer to 80 - 85 for temps. In the QT tank, be sure you have some cover, like a fake plant since he can't burrow. If you can get him to eat in a separate container that's great, if not, it's no big deal. Don't waste your time on anything custom. One he is an adult, 1/2 of the year you will be keeping a nice tank of dirt... well i guess if you put in some nice plants you could at least have a terrarium in those off months.

I was thinking a nice setup terrarium in about a 20g? since I have read that they burmate? for half the year. He does have alot of cover right now and hes getting bottled water for his bowl. He has ate 3 crickets a day since sunday. I just bumped up temps so hes sitting at 84F now and so he doesnt get obese how much and how often should I feed him? since I know they will eat anything offered.

I feed my 5-6 crickets every other day.

feed him whatever he wants. He won't over eat. And it's brumate.
