Welcome to you as well
follow the posts down, and U will see Posts from FroggieB, go to her care sheet
There is LOTS of information on humididty, and temps (Temps are not hard to do) but I M not sure Ur house would be humid enough for a open wire cage to work for her, maybe it would
but she is a FONT of information, and deserves a lot of credit, and Cudos for all she has done to share with us her expertise, so I will send U there before she does

you are making me blush!

But you are also giving some good advice and as I told Joe when he first started posting answers, It's nice to see others learning enough about the MHDs to help with the questions and to be able to share their experiences. So, Thank you too!

i use a reptarium for my dragon and it works out very well,its plenty roomy for her with tons of crawl space and lots of plants, driftwood and a full size cat litter box for water and a air pump.

(example not my cage but the same type)

just out of curiousity, how do you keep the humidity above 70% in there? I would like to hear just incase I decide to get one of those in the future for babies (yes I am hoping for armata babies). Thanks

Actually, the humidity wasn't holding too well in there, until my boyfriend lined three sides of the cage with trash bags to trap the dampness. That seemed to do the trick pretty well, but I hear you can use saran wrap too.

yeah I have heard of the saran wrap thing too. I thought maybe you were getting the humidity levels high enough with net and all sides. Thanks for the info though!
