The enclosure seems too small already.oh, the pet store ordered on Wednesday, and got him on friday i guess, and did not feed him until saturday, i have no idea what a breeder would have fed him, i'm going to not feed today (sunday), and feed him Monday, giving him a bit of time to setlle, i'll go grab a dozen crickets though since they are closed tomorrow, i guess i will use a cardboard box to feed him in for now, i also only have a single feeder container for now, so thats why i chose the roaches.
You're going to have to get mulch. I use cypress mulch and it holds humidity very well. I usually spray it in the morning and at night and that keeps the humidity in the 60's and 70's. Without mulch to hold the water im not sure how you can keep your humidity levels good.any thoughts on getting some humidity in there, i had a halogen work light that i put next to his house, now its 100 degrees or more in some areas, but it sure killed humidity, i'll have to spray it down to get some of it back, but at that temp it will dry up quite quick again i'm sure. how the heck do you keep heat AND high humidity?
A good mix.You could use peat moss. It's cheap and comes in massive bags so it'll last awhile. I mix mine with coconut fiber and my tegu absolutely loves it. He has burrows all over the place.
