Hi All,
Been awhile since I posted, hope everyone is staying safe and healthy.
I’m confident that my husbandry and enclosure is adequate, but since this species is my next tier animal I figured I better post. Just to make sure and to also see if there are any improvements to be made or hazards Im unaware of. The health of my animal is more important than my confidence. Probably should have done this before I housed it, better late than never I suppose. Still a rookie...
I’ve been overflowing the water dish when needed until recently because of a mold outbreak. Currently letting sub dry out a bit to combat that issue.
Food offering, chopped mealworm , has been roughly once a week while observing abdomen plumpness as a gauge. This one has been a good eater for me so far.
I’ve carved out a cavity in a piece of cork bark and used brass screws to anchor it to the side of the enclosure. I thought using hardware instead of an adhesive would make for an easier future rehousing. Maybe i should have used stainless instead of brass?
Additionally I’ve made a blind out of cardboard to coax it out of its dirt tube that goes into the sub. It seems to work because I always see it
