Its not the humidity. I ran plastic across one half of the top side and it stays around 70 I give him 90+ with his first spray of the morning. His temp never goes below 70 and never above 80.
I am going to switch to paper towels. Do I need to worry about mold? How often should I change them? Whenever they begin to look messy. It's important to maintain a clean environment. If you put the towels down in layers, you can just pick up the top layer to "spot clean" as needed and change them all out once every 2-3 weeks. Keep an eye out for mold. In a higher humidity environment, mold is always a possibility.
I do feed him rapashy cgd it is offered at all times in his tank and changed every 30 hours. I also offer him small dusted crickets daily. I would ONLY offer the CGD right now until you know he's eating that well. Cresties love their bugs and if offered too many too frequently, he'll start eating them only and even if they are dusted, that's not good enough. Don't give the crickets until he's eating the CGD consistantly for a couple of months. This will provide him with all the nutrition he needs so the crickets are just supplimental.
Should my humidity gauge be near the top? Middle? Floor? I have it around the middle and it always reads around 70ish. Get rid of the gauge. They are notoriously unreliable. Pick up an Accurite and put the unit on the floor of the cage and the probe up near the top.
