Do you have them together in the same cage??
yes Romieo & Juilet seem to get along togather. They ate 8:00am. Juilet ate 3 cricket
Romieo ate 1. I put a dish in with millworms in at 10:00am, but they don't seem interested. Also they don't like to be misted. When is the best time to hold them? And how many times do misted them. The humitity is at 40%, the temp is even 80. I have a UV bulb on at 50% power. I also have a water fall going 24/7. Also How do u submit a picture?

Okay. First and foremost, get them separated. Just because they seem to get along (at this present time) does not mean they should be housed together. There are a few other comments, (i.e. like, get the waterfall out of there, you will have to mist whether they like it or not, and what kind of lighting are you using...you will need more than just a "UV bulb"....) but that is the most important thing right now.
I strongly suggest that you fill out the "how to ask for help" form (as spelled out by Pssh) in order for people to give you better advice. Then, you need to read the items that Kinyonga suggested. If you truly want to take care of these guys property, you need to read that information. Otherwise, you are doing them a disservice. Also, a picture would be very helpful.
