Ok, so, opinions on a couple different things.

When I got Xerk (short for Xerxes) he explored his enclosure and found the water dish, and drank for five seconds straight...a lot, to my eyes, for an adult. I keep the water dish in, just in case he's thirsty, and I mist him twice in the morning, and I hand feed him greens in the evening that I mist as well. Herp humidity hovers between 20-30, basking temp 95 (which he doesn't sit under directly, to my surprise) herp overall temp 75-80. Should I be worried about overhydration?

Two: He eats Greens in the evening, and dubia every other day, both hand fed. He's plumped up a bit. (It's come to my attention that his previous owners free-fed him once or twice a week, which seems sparse to me, and unhygienic.) In short, do dubia need to be dusted with calcium? I've heard both yes and no.

Third: Relating to that, what's your opinion of liquid vitamins? It seems they would be absorbed better than powder, but I don't want to risk vitamin poisoning.
