A few querstions

[rsrwus]

I have a few more questions. Our BTS is an Indonesian and I know that they need more humidity. What should the humidity be for them. Also I have looked over the food list and did not see on swiss chard on there. Can I feed it to our BTS? I think that is all the questions for today.

You can but I wouldn't feed it too often, it is high in oxalates. The humidity doesn't need to be anything special, I have a Merauke who I just keep at regular room humidity. While he's in shed I'll mist the tank a tiny bit, but that's about it. No shedding problems or anything with him.

I'd say get a humidity gauge (digital NOT stick on or dial), and see what works best for you. I have all my guys at about 35-40% (and ive got northern, meruake, and indo), and I mist around shedding time, and I never have any issues. Once in a while I have to help them with their toes, but thats it.

Thanks. He just sheded and still has some on his head and one rear toe. I have had the humidity at 33%. We have a most hiding place for him also but he has never go in there. We have only had him about a month and he still hides from us if we try to pick him up. If you just sit & talk to him he will stay where we can see him but as soon as you reach into the cage and you don't have food he's in one of his hiding spots. How long should I give his feet before I help it and how do help him?
