    I am going to order one of the drippers for him. Right now I typically just spray the top really well about 5 times a day so that the it creates water droplets for him. Then spray the leaves a bit.

    Question.....is there any benefit to putting live plants as opposed to fake?

    Hah! Sounds like a piggy to me, just make sure you don't over feed him. :) Live plants are best as it provides a more natural environment for them and also aids in keeping the right humidity. I do use fake plants but only to add cover to the back of the cage... I have ficus and pothos in both my cages and they love them, it gives them lots of hiding places. 4 to 5 mistings sound okay as long as you let the cage dry between mistings, don't want any RI's or fungal infections. I made my own dripper and let that run most of the day just so that they have to option to drink when they want. Most of the time my little guy just drinks directly from they sprayer but just in case. I have 2 valves on my dripper and have a hose that runs to each cage. Oh and it's a good thing that he drinks a lot, let him drink all he wants. :D

    These are pictures of when I only had my male so I had both hoses going into his cage.

    Your welcome! :) I feed my male a few Lobster Roaches every day but because he is still small and growing. Once they reach adult hood it's good to feed them every other day about 15 feeders (depending on size of feeder).

    Lol! I KNOW! She is always hissing at me whether i'm in her cage or trying to feed her. Any time I go near her she lunges to bite. Silly girl, lol! I love her though.
