[QUOTE="Therasoid, post: 40419, member: 3538"] Hello, I agree with the "dry" substrate. Also, if I may, remove prey items after 24 hours if not eaten. This will just stress the T out. I feed mine 1 large cricket each week. G. rosea are known to not eat for extended periods, sometimes 6 months even longer. I would also add more substrate to the enclosure. From top of enclosure to top of substrate should be about 1 1/2 times the DSL of the T. If it should climb to the top and fall there is a chance of injury. [emoji26] One last item, bury the log a bit deeper, they like a snug fit. These rarely use a hide once they are comfortable in the enclosure.[emoji4] Hope this comes across as friendly information as this is how I want you to receive it. [emoji4] Btw, welcome to the hobby.
