hi, thanks for your reply.



> ***Do you have plants in there? *snip* Are you misting or using a dripper?



I have a small Bromeliad in there for her to crawl on. I'm also misting with a small spray bottle at least once a day.



> ***have you put all 30 crix in at once??



heh... no. that's over the course of time. but now that I know better, I will only put in a couple at a time.



> ***get the dead ones out pronto!!



will do.



> ***She is trying to adjust to her new home so you need to disturb her as little as possible but get her setup correct.



it looks like I won't be able to give her the ideal habitat at present...the setup is small enough that she won't have one cool end, BUT I do have a little coconut dome she can duck into.



as to lighting...would a Grow-Light do the trick? or do they work on different wavelengths?



also, I read on the site that putting the cage near a window won't do it because the screen and glass will filter out the necessary components. what about screen OR glass? I have it in different windows of my house. also...this will sound weird...what about nylons? will they also filter it out?



> ***As for a name¡KI think you have decided on Aztec ƒº (and for what it¡¦s worth, I like it best, too)







> ***Hope this helps and congrats on your new critter. Btw, have you owned other herps before?



thanks, and no, I'm completely new to herps, so everything I'm learning here is new to me. I didn't come by this intentionally either. Aztec got handed to me one night at work (literally just handed to me) by a couple of guys who came in, saying they'd found her hiding out in one of the plants in the Floral department of my store. not wanting to see her get kicked out into the freezing Indiana wild on her own, I took her home. so far she lives. *fingers crossed*
