I just got a male G. pulchra last Wednesday. Not quite mature, approx 4" DLS. I have a couple questions about him. First, what's a good humidity level for him? I have a B. smithi, and I know they like it really dry. The humidity in the room he's in is naturally about 50%. Do I need to mist the cage at all? And second, is it weird he hasn't eaten yet? I've offered him crickets the last 2 days, and he's ignored them. My B. smithi that I got 3 days before him (female, also about 4" DLS), devoured her crickets. I know it takes a little while for them to settle in. He hangs out in his hidey hut every day, and climbs all over his cage at night. He looks great, and I know T's can go for months without eating if necessary, so I'm not really worried. I just wondered if this species, or if males in general, tend to have lower appetites. (I just got him, so I don't know when his last molt was, and he doesn't have a bald patch for me to check color. But he seems REALLY active to be in premolt. And he was eating crickets before I got him, so I don't think it's a matter of preference.) Thanks!
