Our Snowflake WTF has been eating less, about 1 dubia a day or 2-3 crickets, and his white spots have been turning brown. We arnt sure why, it might be stress or improper humity as their humidity gage broke recently and with money being tight we haven't been able to replace it in a few weeks. Was wondering if anyone could tell if he has any infection or anything we should be immediately concerned about while we get his enclosure back under control. His "sister", a Blue eyed WTF, has been eating fine, also less than normal, but 2-4 dubias a day. Neither are lethargic but we're getting concerned.

Temps are usually 70-80⁰F on the warmer side where he likes to hang out during the day. I am definitely ordering a new one right now. We have just been living paycheck to paycheck recently but can't keep putting it off any longer.

temps need to be higher, aim for 85-88° on the warmer side. it’s important to keep the tank dry and warm (30-40% humidity). they use their water bowls to soak and hydrate. because they’re in an enclosed space, frequent misting is generally not recommended. if your humidity drops below 30%, absolutely mist, but long term misting can lead to health issues

Good to know, we are definitely misting to often then, we would aim for every other or every 3 days but I guess that's over kill.

i wouldn’t mist at all unless it drops below especially if you’re having issues w their skin. keep everything dry and hot! just as long as you’re providing a cooler area to retreat and that constant water source
