Welcome Charles! Iggy sure is a vibrant little one! I love how bright the young ones can be ;D Does he/she have any troubles getting to his food? The walls of the dish seem a bit tall for the little guy - I'm imagining him trying to lean in from the branch above trying not to fall in, lol. Are those dandelion leaves? I can't tell if they are but dandelions are a good choice (beware of pesticides though). Since you have dirt in the cage beware of little bugs - they would like to move in. Newspaper is easy to clean up but it can look tacky. I like that you have a thermometer in the terrarium but I think that having that (UVB?) light right above it might result in inaccurate temperature readings for what Iggy is feeling. I do quite enjoy the leaves in his/her terrarium. Iggy has a nice little setup ;D Thanks for joining us! -Jenna

Hi, Thanks for the replies. I will replace the food dish  , Not having troubles I think , but just give him/her a lower wall, and for the substrate, I'm using coco coir, a bit messy but will just replace with newspaper next week end... I will move the thermometer down a bit... a just placed it there due to the leaves.. and those are just plastic tree leaves, for decoration and blending/camo, seems loving it.. Thanks Charles

Coco coir? I haven't heard of it - what is it?
