I have been misting more frequently to keep the humidity up...it's a little bit of a struggle but it's usually between 60-70 except for early morning (it was below 50 this morning). So far, after we put up the sheet, I have been able to maintain right around 80-81 at the warmest part of her...

Hi! Any tips for regulating the heat during the brutal freezing temps that have struck the southern US these last few days? I have a heater in my room, but it just can't keep up. (Temps rise to about 75 and that's it). My mom did put up a sheet blocking my door to trap the heat in my room a...

:(So very sorry for your loss! Spike was a beautiful boy! Those pictures are amazing!

Just weighed my girl...she will be 30 weeks this Saturday (12/17) and weighs 85 grams. Still right at 12 inches long.

Some owners have a plastic sheeting around three sides of the enclosure...helps hold in humidity and heat from your heating source. Our temp drops some when misted, but recovers very quickly. (We have not added anything to the enclosure.)

@jannb I took it out immediately! I guess we will figure out how to take that middle thing out and replace it with something more Izzie-friendly! I have seen this same plant in a lot of cages posted on the forum. Maybe Izzie is just being mischievous today. :D Her safety is most important, so...

I have a question...see the center fiber thingy? (This is not my plant, but I have one just like it). Izzie had some of the fiber stuff in her mouth. Not sure what she was doing, maybe just drinking some water from the leaves or maybe going after a renegade cricket that has somehow managed to...

Izzie is now 24 weeks old. She weighs 50 grams and is 12 inches long. <3

That other post is about my Izzie. She is 5 1/2 months old.

Update on Izzie.... She is eating 5-6 medium phoenix worms a day and I have given her a few wax worms since Wednesday as a treat (I know not to feed them very often). She seems very interested in her new food...but I am wondering for a 6 month old juvenile if that is enough food? Seems like a...

Her basking temp is 78-80 degrees during the day... at night the environment cools down to mid 60's now that its cooler weather.

I thought she was still young enough to eat (within reason) of what she consumed in a 10-15 minute window twice a day?? I just know one or two crickets is not nearly enough compared to her normal appetite. :(

Hello! I am hoping Izzie is just bored with her food and not getting sick....She has always had a HUGE appetite and enjoyed hunting for her meals. The last 3 days she has only eaten maybe 5 crickets the entire day. So far today she has only eaten one larger cricket. (Usually she will eat 5/6 in...

It's very possible that's what it is because she loves climbing around in her plants. It still looks the same so I think all is ok.

The little one on her tail did come off this past shed and it looks the same...just bigger.
