Sorry about the delayed response.
To answer your questions:
I think that Europe gets everything before we do in the US.
As far as deworming, I always deworm any new animal. The Axanthic Halmaheras are farmed imports so I definitely would. Plus, you can establish a relationship with the vet.
As far as humidity, we don't actually measure it. Some tells to look for that would indicate that the humidity is too low are bubbles around the eyes, problems with toes and issues on the bottom of their feet like redness or sores if you let it go too long.
We also actually get them out every other day, place them in a separate tub and spray them with water for a few minutes straight.
Thank you for the compliments and good luck with Linus. He looks great!
Keep us posted.
It's okay - no need to apologise at all! You've been amazingly helpful!
That's a good idea - I will book an appointment with the vet this weekend if they have any space, if not, definitely next weekend!
Oooh, thank you so much for the tip on humidity! I'll keep an eye out for those signs (which I hope they'll never appear) but the spraying them with water sounds good too! Do you use lukewarm water when you spray them? I was thinking of giving Linus a bit of a scrub / bath - he's a wee bit mucky at the moment, haha. ;o
