Look, just follow the TEK, drill your holes, and if you used perlite that should be sufficient enough to keep humidity, if you see it drying up just mist the walls of the terrarium, FAN 3 TIMES a day for about 15-20 seconds EVERY DAY until they are picked

Great thanks for the walls specification. My only goal here is to make sure I treat my babies right

Haha i know how you feell. Make sure to give them PLENTY of fresh air exchange, there is no such thing as too much FAE, but make sure humidity stays high also.

Don't worry, even when I'm at work I'll have a webcam set right next to them and will access it every two hours with my iPhone. I can call my roommates at any point to tell them what to do.
Oh and btw, I planned to place my FC in my room and it's the ONLY room in the apartment with carpet all over the floor, is it bad? I think I read somewhere that it wasnt good. If it is bad, could I simply wash it before birthing?

Eh, if its not anywhere on the floor i think it'll be fine, washing the carpet would be overdoing it. Keep the terrarium at a decent height, also, how do you plan on giving the fruits light?

I knew I forgot something. I have a lamp I could place to face it directly or the wall next to it so it only reflects, would that be enough? And at night time should I turn it off?

Don't use the lamp if it doesn't use Fluorescent bulbs. Incandescent light (the round average bulb) is not what your mushies need. If you have a window near the FC that would be perfect. Natural light is your best bet so if you can put it near a window so it gets natural light/no light at night.

Well my bed is two stories and the window in my room (very tall) is right behind it so if I remove the top mattres and let the FC chill above me on the sheet of plywood, would that be alright? Wouldn't it kinda leak? Incoming dumb question; i dont need to drill holes on the bottom right?

Perfect, one more thing, If it gets hot where you are, MAKE SURE the FC isnt too close to the window that the heat from the window will change the FC's temperature. That would be really bad.

Temp in my room is usually very mild even at summertime, thanks to the ceiling fan always running. I guess i'll have to shut it down eh?

Not necessarily, as long as its not directly over it, it wont make a difference, it would actually be beneficial cause its giving them a bit more FAE when you aren't providing it. if its going to make the FC a bit cooler its fine as long as high humidity is maintained. Its the things that make it hotter that cause problems and invite contams.
