    Yeap, being a brat is a sure sign of good health!

    Glad he's doing better! Did you ever get the humidity sorted out, or just resorting to baths to keep him hydrated?

    Humidity is doing its own thing lol. Some times its good sometimes its low, i still spray it a few times a day and he has a water bowl along with the bigger dish of water that he could soak in. Hes been eating thuogh which is good. What about calcium suppliments? how much/ often should i use it if at all?

    For Dibble I use ReptiCal (I think you can pick it up at pretty much any pet store). Usually just get a pinch and mix it up really good with the food. I've been doing it every day of the week, and will probably drop off to about ~3-4 times a week once he's 4 years old (as Cubans seem to grow a little slower than Greens do). You could probably drop it down to fewer days at ~2-2 1/2 years old.

    You may also want to supplement a multivitamin. I crushed up Centrum tablets and just add another pinch in along with the calcium supplements about ~4 times a week. This will drop down to ~2 times a week at 4 years.

    Just be careful about over doing it, as too much calcium is just as bad as not enough.
