Rubs are better than fauns if you ask me

What i have always found with a faun is it brittle if you dont pick it up right it can crack and then its no good for anything then it might just be me though

I use to keep locust in mine for breeding and when i used to clean them out i would pick them up with one hand and where it is vented they crack there

Rubs are so much stronger

A large water bowl will increase the humidity, you only want 50-50% really.

You definitely need a thermostat, yes. If you're using a heatmat a Matstat will do, they're about £20.

I was told the water bowl should be the same size as the snake so he can get in and soak if he wanted to

And yes definitely need a thermostat

A 9L is fine for a hatchling, so 12L should be fine.
