Keeping yellows like Kelly?

Jonasgn May 03, 2010 01:28 PM

I have seen Kelly Haller and others keeping greens without a big tub of water and just with a little waterbowl.
Is it possible to keep yellows the same way?
Any with experience on doing that?

Thanks a lot

Yellows can easily be kept without a tub. They actually don`t drink very much water. I don`t even have waterbowl in with them much of the time. Most important time to offer drinking water is in the days following a meal.

Ok thanks
How do you keep the humidity up then?

Humidity is maintained by heavy misting and keeping ventilation low. After each time I boost humidity I let enclosure completely dry out, then mist again. More often I just dump some water on the newspaper under basking light.
