Is she dehydrated?
Hello! Recently my sister found the smallest baby brown anole in a flower shipment to her job at the florist. I’ve decided to adopt little Natalie (we are almost certain she is a girl? Lmk if you think otherwise!)
It has only been about 1 1/2 weeks, so I’m not sure if it’s too soon to tell, but I would like to know if I am doing anything jarringly wrong in my care for her. Namely, I feel that I’m struggling to set up the right humid environment for her, I’m worried some parts are too dry and others are too humid. I’m currently misting her three times a day at 7 am, 1 pm, and 5 pm all around 20-40 seconds, more in the morning to emulate morning dew. I know it’s not good to overspray, I feel inclined to keep spraying because of the difference in humidity around the tank. Currently, the area she usually hangs out is 50% humidity at 91 degrees , whereas the bottom of the tank is 88% at 77 degrees F. Are these numbers problematic? I don’t know how to ensure that her basking area is perfect for her.
I have other questions regarding feeding time and when to lights out, but please let me know if from the video she looks alright!
