Hi everybody!
I hope you can give me some suggestion as I see here some of you have experience with H. Valerioi. I’ve read all the related post I’ve found here on dendroboard and all the care sheet I could find on the web. But unfortunately I still have a question related to the reproductive behavior.
So, I’ve received my group of 1.2. and I’ve placed them in this terrarium with the following parameters.
Dimension: 50cm wide x 40cm deep x 80cm tall
Temperature: Max 26-27° C closed to the really top area, decreasing to 19-20° C at the bottom part, with some degrees drop during night time
Humidity: from 98-99% at night to a lower peak of 70% during day time (I’ve placed 2 fans for air circulation/renovation)
Misting times:
3 minutes at 0:00
1 minute at 9:00
30 seconds at 12:30
30 seconds at 16:00
30 seconds at 18:30
3 minutes at 21:00
I can see that females already have eggs, but I couldn’t hear the male calling yet.. So meanwhile I’ve prepared this rain chamber, with external filter for feeping the water clean and internal pump for moving it a bit.
These are its parameters:
Dimension: 35cm wide x 35cm deep x 60cm tall
Temperature: 22° C
Water temperature: 25-26° C
Humidity: from 98-99% to a low 90% during the day
Raining time:
2 hours from 0:00 to 2:00
3 minutes from 8:00 to 8:03
3 minutes from 12:00 to 12:03
3 minutes from 16:00 to 16:03
2 hours from 20:00 to 22:00
Is that ok to move them in the rain chamber? Will this be sufficient to trigger the “stallion mode” of the little guy?
Thank you all in advance!
Ciao!
