Tell that to the two I killed. LOLIts not that difficult actually. In the wild they like cooler conditions but in captivity, they can afapt to tropical temps. Even leaving it at the windowsill does fine for them .
Filtered bottled water still contains high mineral levels, and Brita filters often add salt to the water as a btproduct of the resin filtering process, so both are not the best idea. RO, rain, or distilled are the best options.Try using filtered bottled or brita water to hydrate them. There root systems are sensitive to chemicals and minerals found in normal tap water. Good luck!
Yeah, bottled and Britta filtered water are not acceptable. The Britta filters only really remove chlorine in the water. It usually still leaves most of the mineral content. A TDS meter costs about $25 and is the the best way to quickly check if your water is suitable. I use and RO filter with a DI filter as well bringing my PPM to 0.Try using filtered bottled or brita water to hydrate them.
