After getting my babies

[chelshart25]

As soon as I recieve my new babies later this week should I start the drip system and misting them right away or should I give them awhile to get acclimated to there new enclosure?

i misted the cage shortly before i put my guy in. and the dripper was turned on as well.he was very thirsty and drank quite a bit.

i also am relatively new but hydration (getting the animal an opportunity to drink) in any animal is your first priority. others with more experience can confirm but IMHO start hydration immediately

Yeah, they definitely need to be hydrated immediately. Shipping/travel is going to stress them and tax their reserves... even the acclimation process is going to cause them to need a little extra water than usual. So I wouldn't hesitate to make plenty of water easily accessible.
