If you're thinking of buying a Hermman hatchling you can start off with something like an underbed box from Ikea (about £6) or if you are worried that your dog may get into something 'open topped' then you could buy an indoor rabbit cage. Here's my set-up for my Hermann hatchling:



You'll also need:

UV Light and Starter Unit
Basking Light (I use a desk lamp which I bought from Argos - £10)
Substrate... hemp or a sand/topsoil mix (or both)
A shallow dish for water
Slate for feeding on (helps keep their beak length down)
Hide(s)
Cuttlefish
