Re: A Christmas Miracle! (LOL)

Thank you, I'm keeping my eye out for more. They lay in clutches on 2-3 I believe. This guy was fresh, so I'm expecting more shortly. But I have NO idea where she layed these eggs lol.

He survived the night and pretty active. I'll have the baby tank setup tomorrow

Started on the sealed top for the tank.



Simple sit on top, I will be running a pot light fixture in there, wired up to a dimmer



There will be a board to cover the whole top, none of the wiring will be exposed,
All gaps and cracks will be taken care of.



and some nice trim for the top (not done)

That's cool you made your own top for that. It's a good idea. Those things don't hold humidity very well.

On way I have found to help humidity in them is to cover most/all of the top with plastic wrap. I found it helps a lot.

I use a moist cloth, but I'll probably switch to plastic wrap so I don't have to keep moistening it like I do the cloth.

By the title of the thread are you sure it's not a "Saternalia" Miracle?
