To increase humidity in a small container cage and keep the floor dry, I use a small dish filled with wet paper towels. This is typically placed over an under the cage heat source and replace the paper towels every few days.

WLP are extremely nervous as newborns and can be distracted by even the slightest move you make during any feeding attempts. Move as little as possible during feeding and freeze when they grab the food item being offered until they are through swallowing. Very similar procedure used to get some young tree vipers feeding. Once they have fed a few times it will get much easier. Good luck,

Kelly
