Filling out the How to ask for Help questions will give everyone here a much better shot at being able to answer any questions for you. The little info you shared is not enough to give much help.

Let me find it and I can post the questions for you to fill out.

please give more info, feeding, plants, lighting, temp, humidity, size of viv, how much you mist, handling, etc. It needs to have a lot of foliage from plants for hiding, drinking off of, and just to feel comfortable and escape heat.They eat the lot btw.

Here is info about mine and I am pretty sure I am doing it right!I feed mine a couple supers and about 4 crickets in a day.Every once in awhile a wax worm. The humidity does cage much and stays about 60% day temp is 79 and night is 70-74.i let her outside for sun and fresh air a couple times a week and have a branch stand outside with nasturtiums ad morning glory vines growing up it.I have prayer plant, ficus, cape honeysuckle, and a star jasmin in a 2' 2' 4' screen cage.I have a fan for it, a 5.0 18" 5% uvb 30% uva light and a compact coil uvb and a blue night bulb (for winter, it cant see light waves).I use calcium everyday multivitamin or d3 once a week that changes every week, I have a dripper that is one for 5 minutes in morning and 5 minutes at night in addition to 3-4 mistings.
