Hey!
New to this forum, and new to the nephururs sp.
My name is Viktor, I'm from Sweden and I got my first pair of Nephrurus levis yesterday! This is an adult pair, will take some pictures soon, didnt want to disturb them their first day.
Right now I'm housing them seperatly, in simple setups plastic boxes measuring about 45x30x30 cm (about 18x12x12 in) with about 15-20 cm deep layer of sand so that they can burrow, a couple of hiding places (corc bark) and a humid box w. vermeculite.
Under about 1/3-1/2 of the box i have a heatmat, giving me temps of 29.5-30*C at the top of the sand (if they want warmer they could dig down a bit). The cooler side is about 25-26*C.
What do you think about the temperatures?
Should I keep the heatmat running day and night, or should i turn it of during night letting temperatures drop (to about 23*C)?
Very thankful for all advice. Will post pictures as soon as possible!
Hope they will feed tonight.
Cheers!
Viktor
