    I setup some crickets in a small glass bowl before I went out to dinner and still nothing . Thanks for the info Trent. Because she is kind of plump atm I think I will hold off for a little with the force feeding. I know how delicate these little guys are so worst case I'll try that. As for the humidity I really have no other choice than to block off one screen (there are two screens up top and a grill in front so it's not completly blocked). Even with multiple mistings throughout the day I can only reach around 30%. I just used a little plastic wrap to cover the one screen. I puchased some usb fans that I tried running but I find they are drying the tank out too much. I'm planing on getting a mistking soon so I can have more added that way. Also I've seen her sloughing twice. is there any nutritional value to that? Again I appreciate all the advise any more is welcome!

    Typing on my phone so apologies for any typos. Humidity needs to stay up there, I have about 3/4 of my screen top covered during the winter while running the creramic heat emitter. 70-80 degrees is a pretty broad range, get a thermostat so you can maintain some stability, instability will stress them. Cover 3 sides of the tank to give her some more comfort, possibly more of the tank. I only had about 50% of one side of the tank open while giving my reds time to adjust. Fix all of that and give her time to adjust.

    GREAT pics! Love that shedding one, lol :P 30% is definitely too low, so you do indeed need to do something to bring it up :/ the fogger might just be your best bet after all.
