Absolutely! Thank you for the warm welcome and I’m excited to learn more as I grow.

Ok! Thank you I will make sure to adjust how they are hung

Archies enclosure is finally set up correctly! He has two CHEs with a thermostat, coco coir topped with reptibark, the greenhouse, and the UVB is here it just needs to be hung up properly!

The set up is fixed! The 2 CHEs with the thermostat has been the biggest relief and the temperatures have been consistently between 84-86. The greenhouse has been great for the humidity. I also swapped the coco husk to coco coir topped with reptibark which also improved the humidity. I think the...

Ok thank you! I have already replaced the CHE and other heating I was using but I am waiting on the new UVB to get delivered today. Hopefully that helps him a bit.

Ok thank you, so having them off should make it better? The soaks absolutely helped but this morning when I went to feed him they were closed again. After soaking they opened but the light have been off since yesterday. His eyes don’t seem swollen but it seems like he can’t open them without...

Hi after looking at this again I had a few more questions. I have already ordered the new UVB and got a different CHE which has already been working better, but does infrared effect red foot’s eyes? Archie started closing his eyes today and after a soak in warm water he opens them but he closes...

Thank you so much! I appreciate the patience

Thank you so much for getting all the info in one place! There should be a way to pin this

Thank you! Greenhouse is ordered!

Thank you so much! The infrared bulb is out and has been replaced with another CHE and the new UVB bulb has been ordered. I also picked up the orchid bark and will be replacing the substrate today! Thank you for your advice it is much appreciated!

Thank you for all the options I’ll be sure to do my research and get him a bigger enclosure. I plan on moving him so a much much larger enclosure when he reaches around 5 inches and will be on the lookout for the best fit. I appreciate all the feedback y’all have given! It’s been so hard to get...

Ok great thank you so so much! I will order the thermostat now. I was also curious if replacing the mesh lid with plexiglass may be a good solution? I will be building Archie a larger enclosure when he grows a bit and the greenhouse seems perfect for anything bigger than his current tank but my...

Ok! Thank you so much. I had left it open for air flow but I see why that wouldn’t work. With covering all but two of the ventilation holes is there any concern for air flow? And thank you for the substrate suggestion! I need to double check as I did get the coco husk in a brick but I forget...

Ok! Thank you so much for your advice. Does the thermometer you attached before help control the temperature of the bulb? Or will it just turn it off if it gets to hot? Also Is there a different terrarium you would suggest? I am going to try a tented top like you had attached before but I am a...

Thank you so much for the food suggestions! Here are some pictures of his tank, I removed the humidifier and added the foil again. I will also be removing the moss after a few threads I saw earlier. I’m currently using a 100 watt ceramic heat emitter, 13 watt UVB mini compact fluorescent lamp...

Thank you so so much!!! I appreciate all of your suggestions and will definitely be changing the heat lights I have been using. I did have issues with humidity when I kept the lower level of the substrate wet and the top dry though. Could this be because I was using the wrong heat fixtures? I...

Thank you so much for the link to more food options! I had tried to close in the enclosure with aluminum foil and keep the coco husk wet on the bottom (it’s around a 2-3 inch layer so the top isn’t wet to prevent shell rot) but the humidity never got high enough. I saw a few other posts about...

Dandelion greens have been one of Archie’s favorite snacks so far (and blueberries)

My roommate was very excited to meet Archie when I first brought him home.
