It looks like you are doing everything right. They look great.

How???? I can’t seem to keep the alive.  
They are beautiful 😻

The secret is the water. I use water run through a filter and then also add a few drops of fish tank water conditioner. I also have a silicon liquid that add a little bit to the water and then they bottom water by sitting in it. It seems to work really well.

The white fusion is one of my favorites but I have never bought one because I know I would kill it. Maybe I will try with what you do. Good luck they are gorgeous

Thank you! Mine really like the eastern facing window, and having a plant friend or two next to them helps with humidity. The water is really the key though IMO.

Beautiful! I gave up on these guys, but they’re so pretty 😩

### Nunyabzwx reageerde op 2025-08-22

Wow that's amazing! I wish i could keep them alive. Yours look beautiful!

Out of curiosity, do you have a humidifier? I just got two recently. A rattlesnake and a lemon lime. I'm hoping to keep them alive. 😳

#### happysoxdonkey antwoordde op 2025-08-22

I do, but I haven’t used it with them yet. I find that the secret is just making sure they get filtered water that I also condition with fish tank conditioner.

### Springvision reageerde op 2025-08-22

Thank you 😊

Oh my, stunning

### Gaia reageerde op 2025-08-23

How much fish tank conditioner do you put in the water?

#### happysoxdonkey antwoordde op 2025-08-23

I put it in a dropper bottle and only add about five drops to about a half gallon of filtered water. But I think I’ve read the water doesn’t have to be filtered when you use it.

### Gaia reageerde op 2025-08-23

Thank you! Since I’ve been using bottled water on mine they’ve been doing so much better but I’ve wanted to try the fish tank conditioner as well. ☺️

#### happysoxdonkey antwoordde op 2025-08-23

I got one from Amazon called “API Stress Coat Aquarium Water Conditioner, Tap Water Dechlorinator, Removes Chlorine \& Chloramines, Detoxifies Heavy Metals, Contains Aloe Vera \& Reduces Fish Stress” but I would imagine most pet stores have something like that.
