I kept the money tree way longer than I should have. He liked the stalks for chillin. I replaced it with another 2 that withered within a few months. I just posted that pathos have been the best for longevity. I've been through 3 in 16 mo...

Feet only!

It's been 16 months. We've been through a lot. I'm 75%sure Rango has lost vision in his left eye. He still very active and eating/ drinking/ pooping regularly. I really can't believe how personable this guy is. He's good for hand feeding and drinking! Quoted this post because he recently...

Must be having a good dream...

Wow those colors are amazing!

Update.... We just got back from our followup appointment. Not 100%sure how; but Rango got a small cut under his left eye about a month ago. There were a couple weeks of him being noticeably more inactive and having closed eyes during the day. We were given medicated drops and asked to use...

Great info here. Thank you! That money tree sure did get tall fast! I'm putting in a baby and the original pathos that didn't fair too well originally from when I first started. Any who, some recent pics included...

He had his 2nd shed the other day. I had a hard time keeping his crickets alive in the cricket keeper so I've been putting 2 dozen large twice a week. He seems to be happy so we're just maintaining...

I find it absolutely fascinating the reaction when I move things around in his cage.... Rango got a nice money tree for Christmas and I had to do some rearranging. This is the 2nd time I've moved things around in his cage. He's very aware of his enclosure and its very noticeable. Any who it's...

He's awake!

I got to experience his first shed last night. I noticed a small white spot on his back and thought "sweet his 1st shed!" I didn't have my phone ready to snap some pics. So I thought I'd have time to go get it. But within 10 minutes he dropped all the skin other than his tail and legs...

The pathos started turning south in the cage so I decided to replace it and in a different area so I can water it easier. This was yesterday morning. My guy is back in his cage and is really exploring the new area. It's pretty cool!

Thx for the advise!

Was able to "hand feed" today for the 1st time! One of the crickets didn't make it through the calcium shake in the feeding tube. After immediately snagging 2 medium crickets I dangled the 3rd recently deceased from tongs about a foot from his face and just outside his enclosure. He locked on...

Got another 1 today... less urates but still Looking ok? And right in the feeding tray to boot!
