Hi folks,
I've recently been doing a little more indepth reading into each of my Ts' habitats. I've noticed that two of them are classified as living in Arid environments, or they thrive in Arid environments. Firstly, just to confirm this:

Would you agree that C.cyaneopubescens and B.boehmei thrive in Arid environments?
Secondly, what sort of a regime would you using when caring for these Ts?

I realise that they get some water content from the food they eat, but is that enough? Currently, my B.boehmei has a dry substrate, and I spray some water on the sides once in a while cause im worried it doeesn't get enough water.

My C.cyaneopubescens has some moist substrate, but i keep this to a minimal, also only spraying the glass walls with some water once in a while.

Should I just fill a 2lt bottle cap and leave it in the tank for each? They both still slings. One being 2.5cm and the other 4cm.

Thanks

I think you have been doing a good job so far.

Dryer substrate with a rock or piece of bark for a perch defines arid for me. I'd suggest keeping 1 corner of the enclosure's substrate a bit moist instead of misting the sides.

Both 2.5cm and 4cm should be fine without a water dish provided that you keep one corner of the substrate wet.

Aves-vous vraiment avoir cette traduction?
