Thanks! Cuttlebone from Amazon arrived today :) Do you wet the Mazuri? Or just leave it as tiny dry pellets mixed in with food? I offered it wet a few times and he wasn't having it. Thanks!

Drum roll......Lol.... New enclosure set up! Deeper coir, hides on the warm side and cool side, new water dish, humidity is staying between 65-80. Cuttlebone finally arrived - we're adding it today. Ended up getting a CHE to keep the tank temp high enough. For a 0.5 oz 3/4 month old hatchling...

Thank you! I need to size/weigh him and keep a log. That would be a good time to do it :) I actually need to find cuttlebone and have looked at pet stores here with no success, do you happen to know a good online source? We dust his food every other day with a calcium and multivitamin powder...

Our little guy loves soaking! We are doing it almost daily because it won't hurt him, and yes, we are newbies being overly cautious.

We are in the same boat, I read for months prior - made some decisions on set up, then ended up changing up everything after reading through this forum :) So much conflicting data, even our specialty small pet store seems to have told us wrong. It's very confusing! Best of luck, can't wait to...

Thank you. We are seeing that he has lots of the coir stuck to him! And yes, it's sticking to his food. I was wondering if this was dangerous, he so teeny tiny. We are spraying multiple times a day, but even wet/damp the choir is sticking to him. This was actually why the pet shop recommended...

Ok - started on the new hatchling enclosure (we'll be building outside for when he/she is older and a table for winter). Using coir, but I think we need to add more? It's 1-2" right now with a humid hide and varying slopes and areas. My biggest concern now is lighting and heat! Basking spot is...

Thank you! We just got a bigger enclosure, new substrate, and are now trying to figure out lighting (the previous lighting is too small). I'll post a pic. Suggestions welcome! Much appreciated!

Thank you! He won't touch his water in his tank, is that normal? We are getting coconut coir today and a larger enclosure. I accidentally posted twice and have received great info, so thank you again!

Thank you!!!

Reply above was for you, Tom, I hit reply in the wrong spot - oops!

Excellent, thank you! A single ingredient substrate sounds easiest. We are heading out later today to the garden store, I've been reading about orchid bark as well. I think the coir sounds like the safest and the easiest to start with - can always add in more later :) My husband and I are are...

Thank you so much for the detailed response! I agree with leaving sand out, based on more reading, your reasoning makes total sense, and why chance it? Coir and soil it is, thank you. I agree the tank is too small as well. I'd read up for 6 months before we purchased and we we're deciding what...

Thank you! Reading that care sheet was what caused me to post and ask, all the conflicting info is confusing! I appreciate the feedback, I'm thinking a coir and soil mix will be best. Curious if we should wait to change out his environment - as he's been with us less than a week? Not sure he...

Pic of enclosure, with hay. Thanks!

Here are a few more pics :)

Hi there! We just brought home our new little guy/gal on Tuesday, he's (going to say he, for now) a 3 month old Hermann's, under 2", and fiesty, active, and more than we'd hoped for! Got him from a well regarded locally owned pet store that we love. They've been very helpful, and their...
