I want a rose hair T I know that it costs around 50 bucks to get everything it needs, but how much would the monthly cost of the T be, weekly cost, yearly cost? I plan on feeding giant mealworms
Thank you :)
Also, do they need an under the tank heater? Or some sort of calcium supplement? Thanks

Mealworms aren't good feeders, you'd be better off with crickets. No calcium.
No, you don't need an under tank heater unless your home is 60* or under.
After you get the full set up, it shouldn't cost you more than $1 a month.

Oh wow really! That's pretty good
I live in El Paso texas, summers of 105 degrees, winters of 30 degrees at coldest, think it will be fine?
And how many crickets should I feed and how often?
Thanks!

1 cricket a week (or two) is fine.
If it's 30 in you house then no, if it's 60+ you're fine.
as far as heat you shouldn't have a problem, just give her access to a burrow.
