So, I've been lurking on this site, and have posted maybe once or twice. I've been doing a lot of research to be able to take care of my little guy so I'm pretty confident in my husbandry and what not for the time being… I do have one problem though…
I built a custom enclosure for the boi and it looks great! My dad wanted to put thicker and "holier(?)" wire at the top where the lights will be, and the lil man can reach the ceiling?
1. I am VERY nervous about him getting too close to the basking bulb lamp (his bendy branches are in the mail right now, thanks covid!), so I’m constantly having to watch him, which leads me to this:
2. HE CAN STICK HIS HEAD THROUGH THE WIRE AT THE TOP AND I AM SO SO WORRIED THAT HE WILL SCRATCH HIMSELF OR POKE AN EYE OUT!!!!
3. Will constantly watching him freak him out even if it's from a distance? I really want this to be stress-free for both of us (for obvious reasons)
My boyfriend is currently going to Lowe's to pick up a spray bottle, hygrometer, and timer for the lights because I still haven't gotten those things in the mail!!! I also only have mealworms and will only have them for a couple of days (thank god), because the nearest pet stores didn't have any superworms. Dubia's and BSFL are on the way and should be here in a few days. I have also read on here that he probably won't eat anything for a couple of days because of stress, so maybe the mealies won't be a huge problem?
In other words: AHHHHH! This is NOT going as smoothly as I thought it would!
I will put his Cham info in another post very soon though!
