Yes I try to cup feed and also place some wax worms on one of his perking branches, every once in awhile. The cup is behind the Pothos so it isn't in plain sight, so it can look as natural as possible from the front.

Thank you

No he hasn't taken any bites of the Orchids, that was the first day I bought him and placed him there while I set up his enclosure.

The orchid looks like a Phaelenopsis species (though with all the hybrid orchids out there, I won't swear to it). Some Phaelenopsis flowers are used as garnishes in restaurants or sold in the grocery store; I've eaten them. (Still, good to keep an eye on him.)

Very nice. I agree, the verticle growth on the pothos really looks nice. I noticed the background also has what looks like pothos growing down. Nice balance.

i agree with you on that i just dont remember what is what lol...at least someone knew a little more than me!!!!! you can buy pre trained pothos at home depot its very easy to do yourself buy puting a dog collar so to speak around the pot with a stake or trellis in the pot it has no where to go but up. once you get it going like that outside you can remove the collar.

Thanks

Yes there is Pothos all around the wooden stick. The stick is covered in something like dry moss, actually found it at a local nursery. Is something they are trying out. The Pothos is also loosely tied around the stick, but when it grows out A bit more it should not be noticeable.

I will take a picture in a couple of days. A picture is worth a Thousand words.

Oh wow never noticed I didn't post pics of the Pothos from behind. Sorry

Here is a pic of his Enclosure how it is Today. Added some more branches and an Umbrella Tree. The Ficus tree did not make it through shipping.



A quick picture I took, while he was taking in some light. He was also shedding today.

Ok here are some updated pics of Torque. Oh and these were taken about 2 days ago, and he is shedding today. I wonder if he is going to get brighter colors.





This was when he decided to take a swim while I was cleaning his cage. This was the quickest ways to the plants and stuff, plus it was a hot day. I was scared at first, did not know they can swim.
