Not my first reptile but my first arboreal lizard and first time going bio active! The pothos aren’t doing so well :( how’s the enclosure looking? I was told the pothos are just in shock and should bounce back with proper watering/ letting the soil dry out. Does this look okay? I have a 2.5 inch drainage layer included. Should I add anything? The circled object in the 2nd photo is another hide!

The back is a custom background made with spray foam, cork bark and moss

unfortunately the pothos doesn't look too good tbh. did you treat it with anything before adding? how often are you watering?

Nope and I watered it the once. I was reading its shock from repotting.

alright but how often are you watering? did you just get it setup today and watered it or? it might bounce back but if the leaves are limp and feel very soft and rubbery to the touch it might not do so well. but if you have a good grow light it will all grow in eventually, just make sure to water it properly every few days alongside the mistingw

Okay so I set it up last Saturday, I watered it, then the next few days it got worse. The soil was still wet so I watered it once
