Hi! I’ve had My Russian for 3 days now. I decided to use male pronouns and a girlish name just to cover my bases. Terra is about 2.5 inches long and came from a breeder. He comes out of one of his hides if I’m messing around in there and follows the action. Eating is going well. Dandelions are a favorite but he is also eating arugula, mustard, collard and a little kale.
I have a few questions. One is that he seems to not go to his water much, if ever. He is good in the baths and drinks. I spray him often throughout the day as well as any greens I give him. Should I be worried? He is in a 55 gallon tote. The water is in a corner (to make my life easier) and I’m wondering if that may be part of it. I’m willing to move it if this tends to be a thing contributing to issues.
Secondly, I only have about 2.5-3 inches of substrate. Do tiny babies need the full 5ish inches? He primarily goes in his hides to sleep.
Third, besides those of you who have humidifiers, how do you keep the humidity up? Spraying, wetting the soil often, or something else magical that I’d love to learn?
[thank you all for helping each other and is newbies!
