That was in the morning and she was all mad that she was "stuck" in her humid hide. Yes, she loves collards, dandelion greens, winter rye grass, kale, cactus pad, cilantro, pretty much everything LOL!

Good morning All, Charlie is growing like crazy, she's gained 20g in 3 weeks. She is an eating machine. She loves the Mazuri LS pellets, devoured them the first time I introduced it. I've updated her humid hide which she still is not a fan of but I put her to bed every night! She also loves...

Thank you so much for all the information it is greatly appreciated. I'm going to reach out to Mark regarding his enclosures. I'd rather purchase a ready built/ready to go enclosure versus trying to figure it out myself. It's incredible how fast these little guys grow!

That makes total sense as to why they do not like humid hides at first. I will definitely change out the humid hide this week and will continue to put her in once she falls asleep. I removed the moss yesterday when someone else pointed that out as well. I did get the LS version of the Mazuri...

Thank you for the suggestion. I moved her to the hide when she fell asleep and blocked the entrance with rocks like others suggested. I felt bad blocking her in but she's asleep right by the rocks and seems content!

Thanks so much, I going to check these out!

Thank you, I'll look for a feed store near me!

Your enclosure You have a great set up, I'm going to look into a mini green house for mine. I also like the terracotta pot as a hide, I'm going to add one to my enclosure! Where do you get the brooder panel? I'd like to add one to her enclosure, I use a CHE now and it works pretty good but I...

I will! This forum has been a life saver!

Thank you, I'm going to try the tinfoil trick and have removed the moss and replaced with more cypress. I'll start doing a turnover of the substrate weekly and will keep the lower layers damp. Definitely will not point the humidifier in the enclosure!

I'm not putting a humidifer/mister in the enclosure. I plan on increasing my homes humidity as I'm needing it as well, running the heat is drying me out terribly. It is mostly closed off with plexiglass, with an opening for the lights. Could I use tinfoil around the lights to close the opening?

I have a mostly closed enclosure, there is an opening for the lights. I have organic sphagnum moss in the hide on top of the cypress mulch, should I remove this? I've been misting the substrate in the AM and PM. I plan on running the humidifier in the room the enclosure is in as the air in my...

I'm going to try that this evening, I'll use some rocks to block the entrance!

We used a beach pail cut in half as the humid hide which is in the smaller side of her enclosure. She hasn't showed an interest in burrowing yet, she loves to climb on rocks! I'll look into adding an additional hide to the larger side of her enclosure.

Good morning All, Charlie does not like her humid hide. When she fell asleep last night, I put her in and she stayed for a few hours and was sleeping outside of it when I checked on her. I did this two more times before going to bed myself and she was sleeping outside of it this morning. The...
