Posted by: Carlton at Wed Dec 17 11:12:26 2003 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by Carlton ] Before you get all set on this a bit of info. Melleri need lots of humidity, but not constant humidity like quads or montiums. They do better with a cycle of dry (50%) to wet (80%). If your climate is humid and warm in summer this might be a real problem to regulate. A solid sided enclosure may not cycle enough, and an enclosure big enough for a single melleri would be huge (try the size of a full tub/shower) and probably very expensive to build. They are prone to fungal infections too. Not all melleri tolerate cages. If you have one that refuses to be caged it will rub snout and damage its feet trying to escape. I don't know anyone who has successfully kept melleri in solid sided cages, but there are always exceptions. I also found that putting the humidifier inside the cage caused corrosion inside the unit fairly quickly. I lost 2 Sunbeam units within 4 months trying this. | ||
