Looking great Ricco, very enjoyable being able to watch them through clear plastic. Adds a new dimension to your enjoyment of keeping these great creature's.

Thanks and yeah me too been sat watching them so close chewing the leaf bits and adding it to the garden feels like am in there with them lol



I've got thermo pod going in and when it drops the temp it's turns on the heat mat and with the clay bits it keeps the pod humidity right. And temp reader also I've got two of them so I can get the best temp on both and I've also got two thermo pods as well I hope that helps Richardp ;)
