Yoshi @ 1.5 yrs And a question

[Subersibo]

Just an update on my (not so) little buddy, Yoshi. He is now a year and a half old. I can't get him to stay still, he keeps walking around hence the not-so-good pics. I know it's difficult to tell by the pics but I did a proper measurement and he is now 7.5".
He loves to eat and go around his enclosure a lot. Very active during the morning and afternoon.
So my question is do I still keep up the humidity throughout his enclosure (closed chamber) or is having a humid hide enough? I plan to keep him outdoors when spring or summer comes like last year.

I'd keep him outside all day but bring him inside to sleep in the fully humid chamber.

Make sure his outdoor pen is heavily planted. Lots of patches of tall grass or weeds to nestle into. Maybe even some low shrubs or bushes.

He's beautiful btw..... I love how his coloring has come in.

Thanks! How warm should it be before I let him outside all day? 70's? I already have a lot of grasses and weeds planted for him. The enclosure is ready but it's still too cold now.

Depends on the weather. 70s and climbing on a sunny day is fine. 70 on a cloudy or rainy day might not be so good.

Also depends on your climate. Where are you?

Thanks, everyone! I do try my best to spoil the little guy (or girl?).

Wow talk about a looker! Fantastic job. Where was HE acquired from as a baby?

 

[Subersibo]

I got him from Greg T. Hatch date is Aug.8, 2013, I believe.

I thought it looked like a Greg T baby. I might have to join that club one day

 

[Jodie]

He is beautiful. Great job.

Omgosh it's Beans and Watsons sibling!
I see the family resemblance!

My Greg T clutch mates.

 

[Subersibo]

Yoshi says "Hi, brothers!"

 

[Elohi]

That face. Omgosh I never realized you would be able to see so much similarity in their faces. Yoshi's face looks more like Beans than Watsons does.

Just saw the "Meet Yoshi" post. Different hatch date shown there...
