I thought it was a female. Per Joxies comment further back in the thread she mentions that the female passed away, so I'm going with female as the answer.
People like this should be put into a cage with someone else that has done this. Literal Thunderdome. Two people enter, one person leaves. If you don't learn your lesson then... Well re-Thunderdome.
Crickets get an overnight with water crystals, kale and carrots. My Dubia's I feed a mixed fruit diet to as well as a dry staple food. Wax worms are the only food I don't gutload.
As for the dripper, I'm going to skip it as I'm going to be running a drip system with the Mistaking soon.
So there are a few updates with le Cham's.
First thing's first, both are happy and healthy so far. The only odd thing that happens is that the two close their eyes during mistings to the point I make sure that I don't mist them directly. The female seems to not mind it as much as the male as...
Currently out, but I used to propagate multiple varieties of them as well as various nepenthes. Is there a specific type you're after? Are you after a true Sun Dew or interested in their cousins like the Butterwort as well?
Are there any key features that can be seen on a female J. Xantholophus to identify if she's gravid and on her way to producing offspring? I know a few threads have been mentioning to keep an eye on the females weight with a scale, but I wasn't sure if there were other tell take signs prior to...
The best option I've seen for screen cages are the 'press and seal' style window insulation kits that can be used during the winter on interior windows. If you do the two sides and the back, you should be able to keep the humidity up. During the season change, you can remove additional sides as...
I'd even still say 2 minutes is extreme. I'm on the mindset that the OP doesn't have a drainage system for the enclosure and based on the lack of potted plants at the base of the enclosure there isn't much of a place to collect excess water.
Then again it all depends on what auto misting system...
I would mist twice a day for about 45 seconds. 5 minutes is way too long for that often. If you're getting a mister with a controller that isn't just a simple timer, you can mist for 3 minutes one day once a week.
Hrm, not a bad idea. I've got a guest bathroom next to where the Chams are... Now to just be able to suspend some lights without creating a hazard and the misses not committing me.
Issue with a dripper are two fold right now.
1) limited space on the top of the enclosures with double domes, t5 uvb and LED lighting for plants
2) the current enclosures do not have a drain system, so a half gallon dripper per enclosure is going to leave a puddle on the floor.
No dripper, just multiple mistings (currently manual) until I move over to other enclosures that I'm saving my MistKing for.
Right now the droplets are all over a fake plant, on the screen, on the real plants and fake vines. I spray just enough to have the droplets from the fake vines trickle...
For the past few weeks I've never noticed my male Jackson's isn't drinking when I'm misting his enclosure. The female on the other hand does drink after a misting. Both of them don't seem to be fans of being directly misted, so I try to spray down the enclosure enough as to not get them wet...
