Right.. If things need to be done.. its going to happen..

I have now fitted new bulbs!
She will be seperated and enjoying a new 4ft by 3ft open top table..

I and my dad will make a double decker home. As you know i already built a 4ft x 2ft table and a vivarium. So with two new 4ft x 3ft i will have a spare home for the female when she needs a chill out period!

Ill take some pictures when its made over the weekend. Any tips on making a double one is much apperiated

hi space is the key with large groups and if they dont have access to natural graze then feed in more than one place.i find hermans are not particulary aggressive sexually but most can be very food dominant so if you have smaller or weaker individuals they will suffer at feeding times.i keep 3 males together during the middle of the summer and i see very little aggression any altercations are over very quickly with the subordinate male beating a hasty retreat.as said they need plenty space to be able to avoid each other if they wish.

Thanks Terry.

Ill have a play with the area also then. At the moment in the top table they only retreat to the hide which is the only wantaway zone which is in the cool end.

I just hope nothing is wrong..Ever since learning more about them.. i seem to be having more problems
