ALOT of hallo pictures (tounge included)

Our ac unit is brand new... i just put the gauge in there today so im not sure what it was before the moss... i do plan to take most of it out and do a humid hide as you suggested for both and wait for the gauge to regulate and tell me what humidity is.. i do know typically when the lights are off on the dragons its about 30-38%... wasnt sure if that was *too* low. we dont usually use the heat.. when we do it stinks to high h&ll lol. I had been feeding the cgd first feeding, baby food second but i have no problem taking that out all together, im just glad hes eating now! should i be adding additional calcium to his diet or is the cgd have everything? (i was under the assumption it does have everything in it already)

i think he looks good, as does his enclosure. you could add a few sticks/papertowel rolls cut to size/fake vines/etc. to his cage if you want but while he is small the vines you have in their now should provide plenty of climbing and hiding space.

great, thank you! i can add more leaves/vines/pt rolls/exc.. i already have all that good stuff for his big cage i just didnt know if i would overwhelm him with so much stuff in there.. also was afraid of him not being able to "find" his food.. although i have heard conflicting info on that

you don't need to add any extra calcium to the cgd as it is a complete diet. just dust any insects that you give him, if and when you do. :)

i just took his bin down to take the moss out and put in the smaller containers for the hide and hes all burried in it.. :( i feel bad taking him out lol

ha, well he can still bury in it when it's in the hide. :P

lol.. i moved him right into the little hide with the moss i put in there. we will see if he can figure out how to get out of the hide now lol. im sure if i didnt mist as much the humidity wouldnt be as high too (dont you think?) i already fixed the "empty" bin too..
the paper towel was quite damp which im sure plays a big part in humidity.. when i do the clean out tomorrow i will replace the paper towel with a dry one and just lightly mist the leaves (and hide?)

how do you say no to this face lol.. i almost panicked when i didnt see him on the leaves! this is under the leaves after i moved a small bit that was on top of him he said "hey, do you mind!"

;)

ha ha, he's like--hey! i'm trying to hide here! :P

you definitely want the paper towels to dry out between mistings. you probably will only have to mist the moss in the hide once a week or so--in a more enclosed container it stays damp longer.

ok... the hide is fairly small and has a hole cut into one side witht he lid on upside down so the biggest part is on the bottom.. like an upside down delicup. i was able to stuff some moss in there, right now its not very damp (in fact very little of the moss was actually damp, just the drip off from the leaves) thank you so much again for the input and suggestions!!! i owe ya :sweeet:

Aww, such a cutie!

:) his little face is in shed and hes actually looking really good. we made his cgd a little bit thicker so it sticks to his face when we dip it in the food and hes really coming along nicely.
