Hi, I recently received my Eastern Hermann hatchling yesterday morning. I wanted to share pictures of my enclosure, food, and pictures of him to get ideas on how I could improve his home.
The photos posted are photos of:
enclosure
substrate
Sphagnum moss to help with humidity
food being used (dandelion, strawberry leaf, parsley, hibiscus flower, and the Mazuri LS diet which is mixed with the herbs)
The only issue I'm having is keeping the humidity at a decent percent. It currently is staying at around 38-44%, id like to keep it anywhere from 50-60% because thats ideal for him being a hatchling. I keep the moss wet, and I spray the enclosure while also pouring water onto the substrate for it to soak up daily.
I soak him 1-2 times a day in luke warm water to help keep him hydrated. I feed him once a day with a mixture of the Mazuri diet, and a herb. I wet the food to make it easier to eat.
I am unsure of how to tell when he poops. The substrate is so dark I don't know how to tell the difference in the poop and substrate.
