I totally agree, the only reason that a bigger enclosure would pose issues is when keepers clutter it with junk. Furnished with the basics & there will be no issues. An 18x18x18 will have to be replaced in a couple of months. That's an abnormal size, is it a glass enclosure or screened sides?

I am obviously aware an 18x18x18 tank has to be replaced within months an adult can't possibly live there. Before I bought my baby I bought the setup which was an 36x18x36 exo Terra so i do have a 100 gallons tank that I will change him into once he is a Lil more grown, I'm sure 100 gallons is extremely big for a 4" or 5" inch baby at least that's what I read and I wouldn't want to put him in more stress than he already is because of relocation. My 18x18x18 tank is an exo Terra that I bought when I bought him.

okay so my baby started eating the worms today !! i order some phoenix worms from reptiworms cus they were a lott cheaper than phoenixworms.com lol but i couldnt resist watching my baby not eating so i stopped at petco and bought a little container of calci worms and my baby just pounce on them !!! yay im so happy !

Pheniox worms are awesome feeders. Mine love them also.

Out of curiosity what do u pay for them?

I have raised 3 youngsters right from the start, alone in a 90 gal, as was previously mentioned, if not cluttered with junk to make hunting difficult, no issues.
