Well, once again, with lack of information all we can do is assume.
I fully agree, I tend to lack Tack, but it was not my intention to be rude to you at all. I don't sugarcoat stuff, I am blunt, and to the point always, some people don't care for that, but it's who I am.
I also, did just mention, I don't know why you were not given critique on that Enclosure, I fully commend you for trying to get critique, and am Glad to hear you got it elsewhere.
I asked you again, maybe you did not see it, and a little more directly than the questionnaire.
1. What type of lighting are you using with the babies, the cage is fine, for now size wise but it needs more plants and proper lighting.
Ideally they would each have their own, but I realize that is not always possible.
2. What are you feeding them, did someone else where give you a proper diet?
Really that's All I care about right now. To ensure they are fine for now, and we can deal with the rest later.
The reason, I don't think it's a good idea, to give eggs to a beginner, and so does every other breeder you will find on this site. Is because they are EXTREMELY fragile, and sometimes just die, no fault of your own. Even a few days without improper lighting, or feeding could have long lasting health effects if not death.
I never meant that as an Insult to you, at all, I clarified that multiple times. I wish you lots of luck with the babies, and as long as your care is correct, if they or some do die, don't let it get to you.
Honestly, no offense to everyone I know it's easy to get caught up. But I think this your friend set you up for failure (not on purpose) and we just intesfied that. And my coming off as rude, likely did not help, so for that I am sorry.
There should have been a rundown for you, the day you posted the cage.
I get it, this is something that your passionate about and I can respect that. So lets start over.
As for the answers to your questions. They currently have a 13w uvb bulb and a 60watt daylight blue. Set on a 12hr rotation. Basking temp at the highest branch is 85f.
They are currently eating pin head crickets and I have 3 fruit fly cultures going that they when when they produce enough. Each feeding is dusted with Supercal NoD and I have a bottle with vitamin d for a dusting every 2 weeks.
Other info- Right now i currently have a fogger that is operated by a outlet with a humidity sensor that keeps the humidity between 65-75% and I also hand mist 3 times a day. My mist king system is currently backordered hence the fogger.
I know the cage is too small to house them any longer than 3-4 weeks which is why I am currently building 5 24x24x48 enclosures with solid sides and back to help hold in humidity since i live in AZ and its very dry.
And yes I have added some more branches and foliage to the cage but no real ones yet.
