Hi James, welcome to the forum. Well what can I say, except here is the link to my orginal post regarding pre buying advice last year, loads of questions and loads of answers.

Then a couple more for a revised buying list

Aplogies for the length of these posts, they are extensive, but LOADS of info in there to get your teeth into.
When it comes to RUBs and Fauns, well I have only used a RUB for my Geerbils playbox, but I use the Faun for my Elijah. I also use Aspen for the substrate, but if you don't mind a sterile envorinment, then paper towel is the preferred method.

Ok fantastic so I have a 5L RUB with kitchen roll on the bottom is this size ok to use and is the paper ok for substrate? |

RUBs (Really Useful Boxes) aren't really recommended for very small corns because they can get caught in the tiny gaps between the tub and the lid unless you use a layer of card inside the lid.
There have been several reports of young corns dying due to this :( |

It is advised that for a hatchling you use a faunarium or RUB, as they are very good escape artisits and it is much harder to escape from one of these than it is from a viv with glass sliding doors.
Have you had a read of the care sheet on this site? This gives all the basic information and things that you need. |
