However will provide more cover as she grows, but didn’t want to give her food too many hiding places atm as she’s still eating every day ,(not sure if that’s normal?) also I follow the misting of the morning dew before the lights turn on , and then just do it periodically throughout the day I’d...

Also light is 5.0 and when the daylight blue expires halogen white lights are better than incandescent at providing an even heat , and have them ready for when the blue ones done

Also I raise my own crickets and have them gut loaded and fed to help meet the daily needs instead of the daily dusting, I’ve for some reason had issues with daily dusting my males don’t care for the dust and won’t eat them if I do it everyday

Edit to be specific for heat range it fluctuates at 81 to at most 87 in her basking spot

I’m sorry but I’ve read several articles regarding that the life expectancy of females is all over the place because of it, and the more recent f-8s and so on that everyone gets are much hardier then the predecessors and perpetuating the hype of being egg bound isn’t as common as the internet...
