I have a Cherry Head and have been using his care sheets for the last 15 months since I got him. So far he is growing well and is very smooth following his advice. The only difference is that I set him up in a 75 gal vivarium with plants to mimic a tropical forest. (as best I could anyway). The lighting and heat is the same as the care sheets. I found this to be best for me to keep up humidity and it looks so good as it is in my living room. He is a loving pet to us and we wanted to see him all the time and enjoy him. That's why he is in the living room.

What temp is the rest of the room at night? I turn off my emitters because the room is warm enough to hold temps at night levels.

The two top pictures are from when I cleaned and re-did his viv. after the summer. I have added a few new plants since then. It's very tropical looking now.
