Venus fly trap??

I just recently purchased a plant and put it next to the window for Sputnik to hang out on and get some natural sun. How long do you guys let them hang out in the sun? I don't want to over expose him. Thanks for the help!

We have had no issues with keeping up the humidity. We keep our house 45-50% (we are able to control the humidity in our home). That on top of misting him every 3-4 hours he is good to go. We also have a corn snake in another part of the house which is also a reason we control the humidity.

We are getting in touch with our local apple orchard to get some dead branches so we can throw them in the oven to disinfect them and put them in his cage so he has more highway. Thank you very much for the tip on lighting. We've had him since Christmas day and he has been thriving. I have...

I'm definitely taking your advice on the substrate. I caught him on the bottom of his cage yesterday

We talked and Decided to use a form of reptile soil that will be more safe so we'll make that change over today when we put in the misting system. Thank you for your help. It's always much appreciated

Sputnik shed for the first time in my care this morning. I've had him for a week, he is a month old. And WOW, they shed no warning! He woke up, went to his basking spot and bam, his skin was lose. He looks so pretty now that he shed! I must be doing something right ;)
