| Don't use soil, but Aspen/Aubiose in a viv or newspaper/kitchen towel in a tub. Others use Orchid bark and Beech chips too. |

| I keep all mine on paper, doesnt matter if they are in a viv or rub its the easiest, cheapest and cleanest way to go. |

| Not necessarily, would give us an idea of how old/large he is and would give you knowledge of what size food was appropriate and whether he was putting weight on or not. I tend to weigh mine once a month or so. |
