I try not to handle my imports, they acclimate faster this way. Yours haven’t even started eating, why stress them out this way? It’s usually not a good thing when wild lizards are being grabbed (predator). I only handle if necessary, this increases my breeding chances, Later I can handle the babies without stress. Help them acclimate by leaving them alone and quiet.
No need to mist or shower, a simple drop of water in there water bowl in the morning will trigger a response, I do this by placing an ice cube on top and let it melt, the steady drops hitting the water gets all there attention, they drink 10 fold more this way then when sprayed. They also bath every morning so I change the water every evening (they like fresh water) this is perfect as I feed around noon when they are well hydrated and heated up. Good routine.
I picked up a few bags of drippers at the Hospital, they work fine.
