Ok, I was at this show in Ontario and I was trying to find a U.sikorae, didn't find any until I saw this really nice Uroplatus guentheri. I bought it. I've been told to keep them a bit more dry. But how could I get the humidity to go down, I didn't even spray and the humidity is at 80-85 depending on what time it is. Could it be because I got some live plants in?? Should I take them out and just put some fake ones? Apart of that, the temperatures are fine and he already ate 3 crickets last night. I hope everything is fine.

I have 1.3.3 Guentheri right now. I have them set up with lots of live plants and tons of cork bark in the tank as well. If you just made your set up the humidity will go down after a little bit. If it dosent you may want to take out some.


Let me know if you need any help!

Thanks

Mike

U.g are from the dry forest so adding a bit more heat or ventilation would work. they have a rain season and a dry season...much like green anoles but not as hot!

the dry season should be around 40 - 60% then back up to 80% with 75% being an average humidity for your tank, but with heavy misting for breeding. the dry season length is unkown to me as of yet but I know a guy that might be able to help, he's a large chameleon fan and has been to the bleeding island many times, i'll ask. I know they come from deciduous forests that are less moist; as per the book, and general geography in my personal study but that's it.
