      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.

    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. 😳

      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.

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

      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.

    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. ☺️

      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.
