I live in Charlotte but I nearly moved to Colorado not long ago for college. Interesting coincidence.
Thanks for the warm welcome and praise to my new pride and joy. Yes, it is pronounced like Ba-geer-uh in Jungle Book. :P And indeed her markings are dark due to her being of the Peruvian locale. She is doing well in her first week, although she does hide for a good amount of her time. I've only really seen her out and about once but I hope once she gets more comfortable and a decent meal in her she will get a bit more active.
I do have a question regarding humidity.. I've found the only way to keep it up is by spraying a few times a day. The viv is heated with a human heat pad set at medium. The temperature is around 83 on the warm and 75 on the cool with a relative humidity of 90% post spritz that drops to 70% within a few hours of me spraying. She's in a rubbermaid container with three small 1 cm holes drilled in the lid for limited ventilation. Her substrate is cocohusk and she has a decently sized waterbowl with large surface area. I understand that as a youngster she needs very high humidity and I thought those factors would help maintain the humidity for longer than a few hours. Is there anything I'm doing wrong or am I fretting for no reason?
