[QUOTE="hysteresis, post: 321949, member: 11064"] An update, hoping someone can contribute some experience... Lola is getting finicky. She seems too gravid to hunt successfully. I have mixed success dissecting her meals. When I offer, she strikes out with her raptorials. Im not sure if she's trying to catch or punch her away her feed. Sometimes I place a gutsy morsel right on her mouth and she eats it. Sometime she'll grab it and finish it off. Sometimes she'll just drop it after several chomps. That being said, yesterday I successfully fed her four small crickets, dissected. It was painstaking. When moved to another enclosure to hunt, she ignores her cricket. She's more interested in trying to climb up the glass and ends up on her back. Her wings stick to freshly misted glass and it holds her down. Guh! Do gravid females slow waaaay down like this? She appears to get tired easy. Also, I've been having to mist several times a day. Our Nest smart thermostat is reporting 40% humidity in the house. I try to keep it moist in her tank. Can too much mist hurt her? [/QUOTE]
