[QUOTE="angelofdeathzz, post: 157264, member: 4173"] Very spot on caresheet Bud! The only thing I would add that I've found to be VERY important is to have straw to pencil size branches mounted to the top of the lid horizontally close together(at least one per inch) running the length of the top, it's a little bit of work but I've had no falls from molting since I adopted this practice. Precarious and I have shared notes on theses guy's for almost a 3/4 of a year now and this one is a MUST if you want them to get to adult in one piece for Both of us. They stick to the real wood twigs(leave the bark on) so well when they molt you will have to almost use a chisel to get the shed skin off the twigs, falling seems to be a big problem for most people that try them, this will help clear that up... Besides having a lot of humidity (60-90+%) when they molt anything else I would add is minor. [Edit] I forgot to say, bake the branches in the oven at 175-190 for an hour or two to kill off any fugus or pesties and it will dry to wood up, but I try to start with dead branches. Nick [/QUOTE]
