# They started crispy (I went on vacation for 5 days and came back to…

_Posted by LostsoulinLove on 2024-11-25_

They started crispy (I went on vacation for 5 days and came back to brown dry tips) but now feel leathery (like overwatering? but I watered them the same once I was back, I didn’t try to over compensate) are they just not done with their tantrum or should I actually alter something in their care??

Environment: under grow lights for 12 hours, 1.5 feet away from warm mist humidifier (runs for 6 hours daily), on pebble tray, I let the soil dry out almost completely before watering. They also get bird sounds for 4 hours a day so they don’t have much to complain about honestly.

They were sold to me as a Sinuata and Dragon Scale respectively as pups, although I question if they’re both Dragon Scale often!!

Quilted Dreams is the common name for Sinuata so I’m glad I was sold correctly 🥰 thank you!!
