80% washed playsand 20% organic soil mix has always been my go to media for nesting.. i also put a 1/2 moist layer of soil on top of the mix.. I did his in a 10"x12" tub usually at a depth of 8-10"..When you make the mix compact it in the container and hand dig a pilot hole to test for holding...

Mr. Anderson,
I first me you online in the old Chameleon Groups when you lived with your parents in the Czech Republic. Last time we spoke was just prior to your journey to college. Truly great to see...
Do some research on Dart Frog vivariums, that should help a great deal! They can be as simple or elaborate as you choose. This is a Vivarium i build for a school tearcher a year or so ago..
Hey Nick, we actually might have met at one point or another. I was breeding Quads and Montium around that time as well.. I lived in Fife at the time, currently have a home just noth of you in Covington.
I would agree 100% wc are fragile! I have wc protocols i go through for a minimum of 4 months during that acclimation process.. I have been very lucky over the years..
Really? They were CITES quota animals, very limited numbers with documentation were exported. Parsonii came in as well.. I would not suggest a novice purchase these, the hefty price tag helps as well ;).
19 days in country, acclimation in a strange thing.. Male recieved 0.010cc oral B-Complex vitamins yesterday evening/Female 0.06cc. Water/Drip and misting "warm 30 minute shower as well". Water has been pretty much ignored until this morning, 4 pont 32oz drip cup with RO water was accepted...
On a side note.. My pair are housed in individual 24"x24"x48" home made enclosures.. I wont even make an attempt at introducing the two until the 4-6 month point.. Taking weekly weights as well as monitoring food intake daile.
That's a big clutch, the largest clutch i ever had was from a very large WC Veiled female, she was about 10mos old when i got her.. Waited about another 9-10 months before i bred her, first clutch 60 second was 85 and the 3rd was 114 in her first season. They were by no means overfed either.
