    The size of the terrarium is 24x18. I have a bark tree,lots of large plastic leaves, coconut bark substrate, moss, and a stone pool for soaking(water change everyday).
    Temp always seems to be around 70, I am not sure yet how to increase/decrease the temp and not sure if it may be a problem. The humidity is between 70 and 85 fluctuating from day to night. I mist the tank 2-3 times a day and I have an LED lamp on for about a 12 hr cycle and completely dark at night.
    I recently added the large plastic leaves a few days ago but not sure if this may have delayed her adjustment. I read after not to change anything in the tank at first but I wanted leaves big enough for her to sit on and hide behind.

    I am using unchlorinated water which I change everyday. I have been getting up in the middle of the night every night (quietly so I dont disturb her) so that I know she has been active at night. Hard to tell during the day when she sleeps all day. When she is up she doesnt seem stressed but this is my first red eye so I dont know what the sighns are of being stressed (besides not eating). I have Grey tree frogs that have been so easy to take care of since the beginning. They will eat right out of my fingers, I also can tell instantly with them if they are stressed (eyes bulging and throat fluttering very fast).
    I just want to do whatever I can for her to help her adjust and I think I am. It may just be a waiting game and be patient, which is killing me

    Oh, also, I have only the back of the terrarium covered. Sides are completely open .Does this make a difference? I feel like its too open but not sure if it matters to her b/c she usually sleeps right out in the open. She has plenty of branches to climb on and lots of large plastic leaves.
