My surinam cobalt is about 4-5 months out of the water. I bought him two months ago. He is very healthy. He is very fat and is growing constantly. He lives in a naturalistic 20 gallon high vivarium complete with drip walls, live plants, java moss along the back panel, twin tube lighting, correct photoperiod, temperature at 76-81 degrees. The humidity is also 70-85%. He has plenty of places to hang out in, particularly in the back.
Unfortunately, he spends most of his time hiding in the back against the marantha plant and dumbcane. Its either that or down in a corner of the rabbit foot fern's pot. I rarely ever see him out in the open in the front of the tank. Sometimes I think he's escaped, but then I find him coming out at random from the leaves at feeding time, nearly scaring the SH*T out of me when he pops out.
I assume its just because he's a juvenile and will get bold as he grows up. I really enjoy him, as he's so cute, but I don't really get a good chance to see his cuteness. But I will lose my interest in dendrobates if I don't get any action sometime. Any help will be appreciated.
