Thank you, i really appreciate the help! Glad to hear I'm doing a lot of things right as well because i was afraid that i was accidentally neglecting him. I will change that lighting out for the correct lighting asap and get rid of the moss. Thank you again and happy new year! :)

Thank you so much for your reply! I am indeed using a mercury vapour bulb, I'll switch that out for the right lamps asap. I have an open table, i very recently switched to a mix of coco coir and reptibark for extra humidity and warmth and he loves it. I spray him and his enclosure with the right...

Thanks everyone! Wellington I wanted to clean it because there were tiny flies in the enclosure so i did a deep clean and they're gone now

Thank you!
