I would go with 72-90 F for temperature.
keep one side dry and the other side moist, also give it a water dish and that should take care of the humidity.

feed it anything; roaches, crix, mealworms, pinkies, etc.

o, and i almost forgot, give it a place to hide, like a piece of wood or a log.

You can feed than anything that moves.Thay are true hunters.My favorite
food to feed them is silk worms.If and when I can get them.Thay move very
slow and thay love them.Just drop 1 in front of your pedes and dinner is served.
I like to vary there diet as much as possible.
