Hi everyone,
This is Mengui, I had her for 2 weeks now.
When I bought her at Petco, they couldn’t tell me how old she is, one employee told me 3 months and another about a year (ridiculous, I know). How old do you think she is? She is about 5” long, from head to legs (without the tail). Should I feed her every day or every other day?
Also, that is my setup, I bought a DIY cage 30x30x60, has two pothos plants, a ficus an an hibiscus and a laying bin. I’ll add more rocks to cover the (organic) dirt. It has a dripper (I’ll add another one shortly), a Monsoon misting system, and a reptisun T5 HO 5.0., a normal house 60w incandescent bulb and drainage system at the bottom. I also sticked some ductape on the top on the inside so she can’t climb the screen cage and get upside down, because she once climbed near the light and fell (just one feet, to the plant in the corner) Comments-suggestions?
When I bought her I bought a chameleon kit cage that I used until I had this one finished, and on the smaller enclosure I’d leave 7-9 crickets in the morning and in the afternoon they’d be all gone (eaten), now the problem is that the enclosure seems to be too big and some crickets survive a whole day hiding, and others even escape through the cracks of the plant containers, through the draining holes and then fall into the water and die drowned. I found a tall cup ( see picture ) where crickets can’t jump off, but I did like the idea of excitement for her to hunt her pray every day, should I seal the cracks somehow and leave the crickets free? Or use the cup?
Thank you for reading!
