Message: <blockquote data-quote="srstarkie" data-source="post: 36181" data-attributes="member: 3468">Thanks - new to these guys but have hissing cockroaches, walking sticks, hermit crabs, lizards, fire belly toads (frogs), mealworms, snails and a RES. Liking my newbie but giving him/her time to settle before trying to handle, or is that a bad idea?  Most likely air transported to California and than on exhibit with just sand as a substrate for 4 days and then in a car for 400 miles on Saturday. Fed one cricket yesterday and one today. Most likely first food since last Monday or Tuesday. Will a five gallon aquarium work or the plastic keeper it's currently in work. Similar size to 5 gallon- shallower but has raised part with a water dish on it. Can attach pic if you need. Again thanks <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
