My Baby also does that! Except she's so small I have to use an eye dropper. I've read that Melleri have very small kidneys and need lots of opportunities to drink. I can already tell I'm gonna need to use a misting system for her. She LOVES being misted!

Take advantage of this! Waiting for a melleri to finish a drink from drippers or spraying can take a lot of time. Having one that will drink directly from a sprayer or a syringe is a huge time saver and an excellent way to make sure they are hydrated. I free ranged my melleri, syringe watered them, and would never keep them any other way. Once they are familiar with the room it's a great way to give them some freedom, more space, they can develop their territory as they would in the wild, and their more natural relaxed behavior is a joy to watch. Yes, they are my favorites too for all these reasons.

He was camera shy but I have a question for any person who feeds there Cham roaches...do they ever like make their way out of the chams mouth I had that problem so I grabs some tweezers and aquifer the roaches head and everything was fine. But is there any easier way to kill them so they stay still,lol
