I've reared many hatchlings on dusted pinheads. They do not need a lot of heat; temps in the 70s - low 80s (F) are sufficient. They do bask, however. I provide UV through a fluorescent tube, and give them branches to climb to whatever distance they want to be from the lamp. UV might be difficult for albino lizards to absorb. PLEASE CHECK WITH BREEDERS OF OTHER ALBINO LIZARDS (Bearded dragons, perhaps). My substrate is dry leaf-litter or sphagnum moss - anything that they can crawl around in and navigate through without too much difficulty. I do not use crushed coconut fiber because it's too dense. I tried it once and they all died. The two things to be careful of are mites, and too much heat. Prevent those, and they're pretty easy to raise. Good luck. I've wanted to find one of these for many years. I hope you're successful with it.
