Guys anyone who uses the mist king or any other mister could you maybe help me out by telling me what times and lengths of times you mist for? I've got my 4 month old in a repti breeze and its set to mist every two hours for 30 seconds but I'm am not sure if a should cut that down to every 3...
I've been misting the old cage all over and avoiding direct spraying on him but that was my problem he wasn't drinking unless I sprayed directly on him for 30secs then stopped then started again Then I noticed him drinking but that was far to late. I've had him in the shower twice since...

Im might be wrong but sounds as tho your temps need ajusting are the branches blocking the light cos if hes dark all the time means hes trying to absorb heat?
I had a Vivexcotic AX36 that was wood and glass and im currently preparing that for my transfer from my baby cage and all i did was remove the bottom glass replace it with mesh. Also i cut two large holes at the top and fitted mesh to that. I then lined the walls in the viv with trelles made...
That's a great idea I was going to use a jig saw to cut two large holes and leave a centre so I could do that! Do you just hang the pothos in a basket I take it?
Guys I've started to mod my viv to transfer my panther to. I just need to put the mesh in at the roof and at the bottom section tell me what you think and when and how should I make the transfer he's 5 and a half months here's some pictures?
