Hello! Tim loves hornworms, but they grew so fast! He was able to handle them most of the time, but last time had a bit of difficulty getting it all down. Is there any way to keep them from growing? Is there any real danger of him choking/obstructing from too big a worm? Thanks!

Hey there. I'm new to this but you need to get a UV meter to check UVI. It's really the best way to know.

I put in a ReptiSun, 5.0 HO T5 UVB, 34" and a sunblaster T5 reflector, single bulb..and you'd think that would be enough. You think adding another T5, move up branches, or get stronger bulb? Or a combo of things? Thanks again!

This just keeps getting better; got a solar meter and found basking spot was cranking a whole 0.6 UVI....so gonna adjust branch and add more light...you guys are the best

Whoa. Cool. Thanks.

Here's a photo of his poop and I think a urate lump?

And I haven't looked at his poop to interpret urates yet...another thing i need to learn

Misting with hand pump mister for about 15 seconds. No fogger. Mistking on the way in about a week.

How much hydration is necessary? Is twice a day misting sufficient? Or should a dripper be added? How much impact on humidity levels in an open cage will this really have? Thanks!

Yeah, that seemed pretty high compared to what you guys are saying. Thanks again! You guys help navigate this learning curve.

Just had check up with vet; said things look good. They recommended basking hot spot to be 95-105, cool spot 80-85. Does this sound ok to you guys?

if I have mistking and do twice daily mist, do I still need to have dripper?

They eat dirt as well as plastic plants?

I'll do that right away! Thanks.

Nope. Just gonna do some plants and waiting on dragon strand to put in hanging things
