Okay, I will definitely tell her that! Thank you! We will definitely try to be less hands on and let them do their thing. This one came to her blind so it did need help eating at first but the humidity was able to help with that and it can now see again. So I’ll tell her to just put it back in...
This is both related and unrelated to my post. This is one of the fellow hatchlings that my friend has. She said it has developed this odd coloring and keeps falling over. Do y’all have any advice on this? Again, unfortunately we do not have exotic vets here so we’re on our own.
Thank you, all of this helps a lot! I’ll be getting some more plants in her enclosure ASAP and remove the pipe cleaners and work on getting the sticks and branches and stuff all put in this one enclosure.
I’ll definitely look into a tracker like that! I was originally told humidity isn’t that big of a deal with Jackson’s as long as they have humidity at night. I’m always up super late anyway, I think I posted this at like 2am 😂 but, I’m always in bed doing research or watching shows or both. Lol
That makes sense, I didn’t even think of putting sticks and branches in soil! 🤦🏼♀️ For the shower curtain, it should cover 3 walls? Back and both sides? Leaving the top and front for ventilation only? She has the right temps during the day and the right temp drop at night.
So it would be...
Ha ha not a problem, without a picture of the entire pot it can be hard to identify all of them. I just know I looked up each one when I first got her and the Parlor Palm and Pothos were the only ones I was positive were okay for her so those are the only ones from my arrangement I’ve been...
I will be adding the Pothos and Parlor Palm as soon as I get pots but I know for a fact I can’t add my whole potted plant because my Flaming Katy is incredibly toxic to humans and animals. I could replace them with white ones but if I don’t use pipe cleaners she won’t have anything to climb on...
First picture is of the glass enclosure upstairs. It is just literally a 5 gallon fish tank with a wire mesh breakout blocker lid.
The second picture is of the wire mesh enclosure downstairs that is actually designed for reptiles. The pipe cleaners were literally all I had in here at first...
Okay, awesome. The first time she did it she stretched so far that she almost fell over. And if I remember right you should never help along the shedding, correct? It all has to come off on its own?
no ideas about her rubbing her head and face on my hands? I mean, I don’t mind and I’ll let her...
Oh, I also have 5 fruit fly cultures going! 3 that I purchased and 2 that I started myself using a banana, applesauce, oatmeal mixture for the food like I saw in a video I watched and some of the established larvae at all stages and pupae from my store bought cultures.
I’ve been doing tons of research on gut loading! I have fruit available in the enclosure for the crickets to continue to eat after I’ve released them into her enclosure to encourage them to stay full, fruit they don’t get access to outside of her enclosure.
