They were out and about whilst I sprayed them this afternoon, which is unusual as they tend to sleep until its dark usually. So I caught a few snaps, seems they were thirsty, so Im going to increase my sprays to 4 times daily. I've not once obsreved them drinking from their water bowl, only from the spray or droplets left after spraying - much like chams, they seem to take a couple of minutes to recognise the water and start drinking

I'm certainly going to try my best to do so, Ive got a massive 1700 page book on Madagascars natural history which Im in the process of reading, Madagascar has quite varied climatic conditions and I will be looking into it in much more depth for this species. I do let temps drop right down at night.
The islands climate is strongly influenced by dry winds in their winter, which is May to September and then by monsoon driven tropical storms in their summer ( December to March).
This species are found on the eastern side of the island and the small islands off the east coast. This area has the worlds highest level of precipitation apparently (4,100 mm), and is constantly very humid, so I need to keep humidityt levels high all year around.
I'm also contemplating seperating them for a while to see if that will prompt mating behaviour.

I dont think many people keep them in this country Johonny. I know Nerys has a pair and another friend of mine used to have some - not sure if she still does though.
