You actually have a Chompy and a friend in there. Notice there are 2 fly traps?

Then we put him in the front yard around 1 pm when the sun was in the front of the house, then bringing him in at night. So now I just have him in the back yard where he gets the direct morning sun, but we just leave him outside all the time now.

His friend Cho II died the other day. I made the mistake of thinking Cho II needed to go outside and get some sun, and he got sunburned. (He was a Kalancho). But in all seriousness, I really want to keep Chompy alive so I'm looking into getting a plant light and just keeping him inside.
