Around 2 months ago I placed some big rocks in the middle of my enclosure. The original intention was to provide a way for my Cherryheads nails to trim down naturally since they seemed to be getting rather long.
The rocks have worked excellent. Putting a CHE well above the rocks is a great way to introduce water / humidity into the environment and keep the substrate somewhere between dry and damp. Ill pour water into the rocks or mist the rocks directly - in a closed chamber this is a couple times a week and measured with a humidity meter. It also seems to provide my Cherryhead with some exercise - pushing him to use his hindlegs as he goes mountaineering.
A fear might be that he could fall over - which is a serious concern. I have a camera pointed at the rocks in case this occurs and I made sure the rocks arent too tall. The darker side of the enclosure is on the left and the side with food is on the right so he regularly crosses the rocks a few times per day.
Just wanted to share!
