How do you...

[CloudsMystique]

1) ... keep the bottom of your cage/floor of your house/Repti-Carpet clean with all the misting and plant watering?

2) ... make sure there are no crickets left in the cage overnight? Do you have to find and catch them all?


And 3) Where should the humidity level be, if you have this thing? http://www.petco.com/product/9424/PETCO-Reptile-Habitat-Humidity-Gauge.aspx



Thanks!

1. Most have some sort of a drainage system for the cage.

2. Yes, if you put in more than your cham can eat then you need to get them out or they may eat on your cham while he sleep. Cup feeding solves this issue.

3. I'm not familiar with that gage but here in FL I never worry to much about the humidity but I don't keep my chams very hot. A big hot basking light will definately kill your humidity.

1) I have a simple drainage system in my cage that collects most of the water, but I also use papertowels to clean up any excess water at the end of the day.

2) You could always put a couple(3-4) of crickets in there at a time, and then after your cham eats them all you can put some more in. Or you could try cup feeding. It's easy to keep track of all your crickets and you can see how many crickets your cham is eating daily.

3) If you're talking about humidity levels 40-50% is fine, when you mist it should bump up to 70% or more and hang that way for a good few hours. I have mine hanging on the side wall almost at the top. But I have a simple Thermometer & Hygrometer like this one
