I'm looking to obtain a couple more Neps. I want to get some recommendations before I post a WTB thread or go looking around.
Unless I can find some small ones that will fit in a 10 or 20 gallon terrarium for 8-12 months it will need to stay on a windowsill. The only Nep I have right now is a N. x ventrata. It is doing well aside from refusing to pitcher due to the low humidity from our heating system. However, come spring when the heat shuts off the room will be much more humid. Around 50-60% if I had to guess based on some readings I got in late fall and the fact that I have around a combined 55 gallons of open top aquariums in the room evaporating into the air. Temps will be low 70s in the day and mid to high 60s at night.
If I can find something that will fit in one of the terrariums temps will be fairly constant in the mid to upper 70s. High humidity. I'd consider taking measures to switch ones of the 10g tanks over to highland type conditions if I end up setting up the 20g terrarium but for now that isn't happening.
So any recommendations? I favor the species that have toothy or at least ridged looking peristomes. Aside from that the more colors the better I guess. I know this is kinda vague but I'm more unfamiliar with nep species than any other CP at the moment.
