I must concur with the old fella here. once he convinced me to install leaflitter ("what, like from outside? just picked up off the ground/ with all those things in it?" in my rough neck enclosure they went crazy! Not only did it help stabilize a higher humidity, it also provided endless hours of shuffing about looking for bugs and such. The pair began courtship/breeding behaviors quite soon after this shift in set-up. The one down side i encountered was that it did make finding the eggs a bit of a challenge, as the female deposited them at varied sites within the cage. But the dramatic change in the lizard's attitude was astounding, with the pair becoming far more at ease, and thusly observable. their overall health seemed to improve as did their demeanor. Of course they did start requesting additional reading materials as they no longer had the newspaper on the cage floor.
