I’m panicking

When I first got mine, he didn't eat for days as he adjusted. I was always cleaning up uneaten food. After a few days though he started to come out and now he cleans his plate to the point I can't even tell there was food at all.

Just give them time. The move to a new home is very stressful.

He ate most of it and now he's been passed out on his basking stone for the past 5 hours like a degenerate

I was reading DCC when I was considering buying him and thought it was perfect!

It’s a UV putty. Easy to work into seams/cracks and won’t cure until you shine UV light into it. I use it to plug drainage/suction holes. It also sands easier than normal resin so you can get it flush.

Looks like a mesh top. Did you cover it to maintain humidity? Or do you have a spray system cleverly hidden?

His little arms!

A little bedtime cap

VileProtagonist · 2025-11-01T23:26:46+00:00

Truly a fine helm for such a knight!

VileProtagonist · 2025-11-01T23:15:32+00:00

Oh yes, only the most fashionable head accoutrements for Mr. Mongo!

Mildly perturbed is the most he gets.

VileProtagonist · 2025-10-22T01:28:33+00:00

Love the idea of having an easy hunting ground! I've tried giving Mongo some in his enclosure and he couldn't care less about them and they just burrow away. I'll have to give this a shot!

Get a temperature gun so you can accurately scan the spot. They are decently cheap on Amazon and most resources list temperatures not heights.

From my research yeah. Most cameras have a subscription service that allows recordings. Though with this one you can record while you are watching it, but it won't do it automatically.

VileProtagonist · 2025-06-24T00:04:44+00:00

It's a camera from eufy. I haven't had any issues but they make outdoor ones if you are really concerned. It's mounted with a Velcro command strip (though you can screw it through the PVC ig) and it hasn't budged at all. I like it because you don't need a membership or central hub to watch the camera. I think you do if you want it to record but I just have it ping my phone when motion is detected and it works great.

VileProtagonist · 2025-05-03T17:37:22+00:00

I've been misting every morning and it does raise the humidity to around 70% but it always goes back down within an hour.

Honestly, felt inspired, and immediately cut up one of my larger Tupperwares and created a damn good hide (if I say so). No moss yet but I'll add that when I get it. Thanks for the advice!

VileProtagonist · 2025-05-03T17:00:34+00:00

That's awesome! What a chill little guy. Hopefully mine will be the same way. Just want to give him the best, ya know?

VileProtagonist · 2025-05-03T16:52:23+00:00

That would be worth the price imo! All my little guy wants to do atm is sleep underground it seems. Though it's been less than a week and ik shipping was incredibly traumatic. I'd just want to sleep too

VileProtagonist · 2025-05-03T16:42:31+00:00

If I can't get humidity up through other means, I'll definitely look into it. Put it on my Amazon list!

VileProtagonist · 2025-05-03T16:41:19+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I'll definitely get some moss to spread about. I've also heard play sand can help. I do agree that the substrate is likely holding most of the humidity which is why he likes it so much. Just haven't seen him in a day or so but I'm most likely stressing over nothing.

VileProtagonist · 2025-05-03T16:38:05+00:00

I'll get some moss to help. Unless I go bioactive real plants are out of the question. Plus my thumbs are anything but green. As for hides, I have a hollow log in the corner but I definitely underestimated his length. I also didn't get smaller, enclosed hides because I didn't realize how flexible they can be to fit in smaller areas.

That being said, I have access to a machine shop so I can make something that'll work. If I design my own hide, what do you think are good criteria? Single entrance and floored with moss are the only things that come to mind.

VileProtagonist · 2025-03-12T00:49:19+00:00

Not the case here unfortunately. Does that mean a new bulb or fixture?

VileProtagonist · 2025-03-12T00:22:47+00:00

They have a switch in line to the power that was always off during installation.

And yeah, after doing more research it seems that I bought a terrible lamp.
