I have a roamer too. He begs to come out, and he never stays on his free range. I have a basking light, and a UVB light for him since he likes to come out so often. It's a bit chilly in our house today, woke up and it was 59 degrees. Flash of course sees me and immediately wants out. He'll roam...
I'm a full time student, and I leave for class or clinic anywhere between 6:30 - 7:00 am. I have my lights come on at 6 am, and off at 5:30 pm at the moment.
I would definitely add more plants and vines for him to crawl around on. I've attached a picture of my set up as an example.... There's really no such thing as too many vines or plants for them to crawl around and hide in. I have a live pothos vine plant hanging in the middle of the cage, then I...
Thank you Jann! :love:
He is a very "healthy" boy, hehe :ROFLMAO:
My guys love them. It took Flash a couple of days to figure it out what they were, and that they are edible. He gobbles them up whenever I offer them. Heck, he gobbles everything up! :LOL:
Sometimes they'll eat the leaves of your plant, make sure it's a non toxic plant. I have a live plant in one of my enclosures, but I have some fake plants all around the cage to help create some plant density, and I've also created a complete "hide" where if he wanted to, he can get under and...
There's nothing wrong with him. :) That's the "shaky leaf walk" they do to mimic leaves rustling in the trees to help camouflage themselves in.
If there's anything new in the cage, or somewhere in his view from his cage, it could be making him nervous. If he's eating dirt, then that is a cause...
It's a hawk moth, from a hornworm..... Flash was terrified of the big flappy monster. It had crawled on him, and he was frozen stiff, so I had to "rescue" him from the killer moth. ;)
No, that's actually my bathtub.... I have over 45 orchids now, and some of my vandas are as tall (or taller)...
I just love him to bits.... I was kinda sad when we got home from FL because their lights had already turned out, and they were snuggled up to go to sleep.... I haven't seen my babies since Christmas Eve! Can't wait for tomorrow! :ROFLMAO:
I'm 2 days late, but we were visiting with family in Florida. We are back in South Carolina and I can finally post! Happy 1 year rehoming day, to my sweet blue boy, FLASH. Who has really gone through transformations in color and personality. I've rattled on about his story before, but (long...
Call some different vets. I just had 6 spots biopsied on Chief. Use of a animal hospital (my vet does house calls, she doesn't have a clinic) + anesthesia, + histo on the samples = $150.
He reached that status the day he came home! ;-) ;-)
I try to give him the best because he deserves it so much. He's such a little love and has taught me so much!
Thank you Jann!
Thank you Matt!
I'm hoping for many more with this cool lil red dude ;-)
I'm a bit late... Lots of stuff goin' on around here. School is keeping me busy 24/7, I had to have an emergency appendectomy in mid October... Family is stressing me out about the holidays.... Oh no! I forgot to post about Chief's coming home anniversary!!
He came home with me on November 3...
