For those of you keeping africanus what are you doing for temps, RH, and any other general tips...
I am currently keeping one male juvenile (lost my female already).
Basking 90 - 95 F throughout the day. (I let it warm up by mid afternoon)
Ambient 75 - 85
Overnight around 65 low
RH Mist 3 times a day until about 80 RH mist again at about 50 gets down to 35 to 40 overnight.
He is almost always brown but is alert, active, and eating well. (not frantic active but moves around throughout the day and eyes are always alert.)
He looks a little skinny but I think that is just the species look from all the pictures I have seen. I can't get a good pic because he is terrified of the camera and is pretty fast when he sees it coming. All I have is a few out of focus pics...
So any tips, changes, of africanus specific info I should know?
