redecorating

i have to say if pascal isnt spoiled, i dont know what he is.
he has moved into his 65 gallon flex, seems to love it. well. as much as is possible for him to love something.
i have probably spent a good £100 on him sinse he's moved in, loads of new plants for him to explore on, it's looking really nice. and i finally solved the problem with the bottom of his flex, since i cant get the flextray i need.
so i got some polystyrene insulation sheets, cut them to size and put them at the bottom of the flex, then covered the floor in newspaper as normal, now when i go to change the paper, it's nice and dry, and the table undernieth isnt ruined.
brilliant.
right now he's having a strop, i have brought George my 5 month old bearded dragon upstairs, he's sat on my leg not doing much, and pascal is sat on his highest branch throwing dirty looks at george between episodes of going to get a cricket from the cricket tub.
silly thing
he's really not into being handled at the moment, which is a shame, usually i try to get him "free ranging" in my room once every day/two days, but at the moment he's making too much of an issue out of being caught and he's started trying to bite rather than just hiss. so thatll have to be put on hold because i want him to stay happy :s
he seems to like my best friend, when James is round he usually behaves pretty well, at least for James, wondering around merrily, not hissing etc.
he had some meal worms about a week ago, thought id take him downstairs to meet dad before he had his breakfast, was warm downstairs so we stayed a while and i figured he might eat one of georges meal worms. he did. he's never been interested in them before, so it was nice to see him attempting variety. of course after the shock of a new thing in his mouth he fell in the tub and they went everywhere while he tried to scramble out. but that's just pascal. he has balance, he just doesnt use it when food is involved.
bearded dragon still on my leg, looks like he wants to fall asleep, he's going to the vets soon, even though technically he's moms pet, (all the reptiles that arent pascal are moms/family pets, we have george, three leopard geckos and an anole lizard. and two tortoises) it looks like ill end up being the one taking him, he's become really lethargic, hasn't been eating any crickets, only the occasional bit of fruit/veg. and he spends all day looking miserable. the guys in my reptile store sometimes tell me the wrong thing when i ask questions regarding my animals health, so even if it most likely is just a stage, or george feeling bored/lonely, id rather see pascals vet, have him registered there. im lucky enough to live within a half hour drive up the coast from a vet which has a couple of reptile specialists. theyre more expensive than the closest vet, which has some really nice vets, i take pascal there just for check ups which only cost me £26, but the specialist is £45 which isnt as bad as it could be. pascal seemed to enjoy the vets last time he went.
pascal has givven up on his crickets and has returned to his perch and resumed his position, glaring at me and george.
lovely.
i'm thinking of buying some more sticky hooks, putting on above my bed, so when pascal goes for his trips to the other side of my room, he can stay warm. i wont bother getting a thermostat for it, because it wont be on lots, but i will try and put a hook over his flex and add it to the thermostat when it gets too cold for his other heat bulb to work properly.
anyhoo
thats mah update, going to take george back now, got to get ready to go to the stables and spend what is left of the day finishing off yesterdays work
the weather is horrendous, raining and stormy winds, i can hear the roof trying to fall off, which would be a real shame because i live in the attic ¬¬ hopefully it will brighten up soon.
bye :)
