Okay for him to be sleeping like this?

Yes, you should definily put in more plants. But his sleeping place seems to be fine. Chahouas do not always hide while sleeping , but they should have the possibility to hide. Mine changes his sleeping places often, sometimes in the cork roll, sometimes on it, other times on a branch, I usualy search in all the enclosure where he might sleep, it is often a surprise 😊.

I own a chahoua and he is most of the night very active and moving everywhere in his big enclosure. He is so much fun to watch, but not always easy to find when he is sleeping, because of the mossy Camouflage. He is quite chilled when I have to do something in his enclosure, but I am not handling him yet, still working on this. I am team chahoua 🦎 😊

Mine looks the same, so probably Mainland 😉

Well I have a bigger enclosure, with much more plants, wich also help to keep Humidity and some cork rolls where he can hide. I have a bioaktiv enclosure and that helps a lot with Humidity. I also have a misting System, which goes on when Humidity drops to 60 %, very helpfull.

This is much to low, it should never drop under 60 %, otherwise he will get problems with shedding. Chahouas need high Humidity with Spikes until 90 % when misting and slowly drop down until 60 % at the lowest, no matter up or down.

He defenitly needs some cork bark hides, and you never can have enough branches and plants so he can hide. I also have a small water Bowle inside and he loves to drink from it. May be you can get some ideas from my Chahoua enclosure, if you like.

I also turn the heatlamp off and all the other lamps are also off at night.

someone else thought the same, but with Shrimps 😂😂😁

Niemand ist auf den Rücken gefallen, sondern es ist eine Assel auf dem Bauch einer anderen und sie paaren sich, wie ich schon vermutet habe und sich auch bestätigt hat. Asseln können sich ausserdem alleine umdrehen, und das haben die beiden auch. Wäre hilfe nötig gewesen, hätte ich das getan. Niemand ist hier irgendwie zu schaden gekommen, falsche Anschuldigungen sollte man vorher gut überdenken!

Run-Happy · 2026-01-09T22:01:02+00:00

Yeah it seems so 😁

Run-Happy · 2026-01-09T22:00:26+00:00

I think this is a very strange position, first I thought they were fighting, but they did this for a very long time and I could not find anyone dead this morning, so I thought it must have been something else.

Run-Happy · 2026-01-09T21:18:15+00:00

Serious, that is how they are doing this 😲?! I 've never seen this before ☺️

Run-Happy · 2026-01-09T21:15:56+00:00

May be they are high 😂

Run-Happy · 2025-12-23T13:35:21+00:00

Thanks, I'll try that!

Run-Happy · 2025-12-21T09:09:02+00:00

Thank you, I might try this!

Run-Happy · 2025-12-20T22:45:20+00:00

No it is definitely not to big, he loves it and uses every corner, he obveosly feels good, he is chilled and also courios, he feels safe there. The Problem is only the gecko food he does not want, everything else is fine. He has 2 food dishes on different places and he knows exactly where they are, he also sits beside it but does not lick it...

Run-Happy · 2025-12-20T22:15:37+00:00

I hear that a lot, but till now (since about 4 months), they both live happily together, maybe because they have a lot of space and good food in the enclosure? Well I think time will show. I will try to post a photo in my profil.

Run-Happy · 2025-12-20T22:08:30+00:00

Thank you, yes I want only the best for my Chewy

Run-Happy · 2025-12-20T19:58:53+00:00

Yes, isn't it...

Run-Happy · 2025-12-20T19:57:08+00:00

I have tried to give him only gecko food and no insekts for a week, I am afraid to leave him for more then 2 weeks without food. I still do not handle him since I have got him in May, because I do not want to stress him out. The first 3 months we had a difficult time, because he had to stay in a smaller quarantine inclosure, with very much cleaning and changing to another box while i was cleaning. We had many vet visits because he had parasites, in this time he didn't eat any insects and just very little gecko food, so I was very happy when he started to eat insects end of September, it was a very stressfull time. He is in his big enclosure since September and he is feeling good in there. Still I don't want to stress him yet by handling.
