Hi, I posted this elsewhere but I think it's no very visible so here it is here instead. I'm very keen on carpets, there's a CB female for sale in a shop near where I live and I know someone else that keeps Major's but I don't know if the shop female is Major or Minor....?! Anyway, that's a separate problem..
I have a large viv set up ready, I am interested to know:
1) can you use a waterfall alone in the viv (as I do with my yems) and only spray occassionally...if at all? I have been to Madagascar, was there for 6 months and I saw many of this species (common as hell). In the dry season (6 months worth) in the south it wasn't really that humid, hot but not humid, so I am wondering why they should be sprayed 4 times per day..through the whole year?
2) Also do you need an incubator or can you keep the eggs at room temp - the same way as yemen eggs?
3) at what age do the young have to be separated?
Anyway, your experience and advice of keeping them in captivity will be greater so I bow to that and hope to hear from anyone who's interested!
