Hi Everyone,
About 6 months ago I posted a hello thread from the baby Sri Lankan Star I had just gotten and named Zoey. I promised I would share periodic updates, so I figured now that’s she’s over a year old I would check in!
I can’t believe how the time flys. She is doing incredibly well...
Hey Tom et al.,
Just wanted to share an update on Zoey winces she’s now over a year old! I can’t believe how the time flys. She is doing incredibly well and I feel so lucky. When I first got her she was almost 6 months old and weighed 38 grams. Now, after her first birthday she’s at a...
Oh no no, never ever dry. Her humidity is never below 60%, but usually close to 80%. I keep a moist orchid bark as about 3/4 of her enclosures substrate, as well as, a fogger which is constantly pumping in fresh humidity.
Absolutely, Tom. Thanks! Actually, your care sheet post is what I printed out and studied from top to bottom (including removing the heat pad) and I think that's why she is doing so well. I was one of those misinformed people that was given the advice of the pet store as no-to-low humidity...
Thank you! I have a little boy Leopard named Opie, so I thought it fair to let my wife name the little girl and she came up with Zoey and it just seemed to fit perfectly. Feel free to steal ;)
Hi All,
Just wanted to share a few pics of my new little Sri Lankan Star girl, Zoey. I've had her for about a month now and she's thriving incredibly. She's tons of energy and eats like a little horse. She actually reminds me a lot of a new puppy where they run around and play like crazy...
Excellent point! That actually makes a lot of sense. I've only had it for a few days, so hopefully they will take it back. No use for it now! I just added a fogger to my girls habitat and she seems to absolutely love it. Sometimes she curls in and settles to sleep right underneath where the...
I did some experimenting with mine and it doesn't seem to give off much heat. It seems to only make the substrate directly underneath it feel slightly above room temp. Are they getting burned because they are too hot maybe? Also, I probably have a good 2.5 inches of substrate and glass between...
How come no heat pad underneath? Just curious as I found it to be a good way of boosting the ambient temp up a few degrees to keep it above 80 through the whole terrarium.
