The issue right now is the bag of mulch has big chunks of wood in it... so while I'm digging around, I think "Oh! Found one... nope, just a chunk of wood". At least with coconut coir if I feel a chunk chances are very likely that its a boxie. When they get bigger this won't be a problem, but for now it's annoying.
Also looking into a solution for my waxing and waning humidity levels... would be great if the humidity would stay up at 75-80% or more, but it drops to 50% pretty quickly... I have 3/4 of the enclosure covered to try to retain humidity, dump a cup or two of water around the enclosure daily/every other day (not the past few days, we had a water main break and are on a "boil order/water conservation order"... aka don't use water unless you boil it first... thankfully I have extra bottled water for these guys). What do you think about the reptile misters? Or configure a humidifier into a fogger?
Oh! I normally feed them earlier in the morning/later in the afternoon or evening, anyway I have noticed the later I feed them, the more likely they are to just hang out in their water dish basking instead of heading straight to bury themselves when I put them back in. But I have yet to see them come out on their own =/
