Just as a tip - your humidity does not need to be that high ALL THE TIME :) When he gets older use a screen cage 24x24x48 (I'm sure you know this) because when you mist them, it gets high humidity. But they need a dry time too. So you don't need high humidity all the time ;) Just some of the...

Exciting. Keep it and see!

You do not have to have the humidity up that high all the time. You should just gently mist the cage for a couple minutes around 3 times a day. This should bring up the humidity to around 70-80% for a good while, and then it dries out. They need dry time too. Don't try to make it humid for...

Pothos look nice and viney especially if you hang them from the top of the cage! Schefflera (umbrella) plants are also really cool looking and love the humidity. Hope this helps. These are some widely recommended plants other than ficus.

looks fine to me! just try and get a lower watt bulb :)

Could you attach a picture? Your enclosure sounds fine right now, but later you're going to need a taller 24x24x48 enclosure (screen) for the little one. Anyway, 100 watts sounds a bit high for your bulb. Try 60 watts for the little guy and when he's older, you want his basking spot to be...

I will keep you all posted - you can count on that, except that I will be gone the next 4 or so days. My father will be caring for him and offering him food and water every day. I put up a little hammock in his basking spot in case he wants to rest his feet there, also I put his feeding bowl...

Very cute! Good luck keeping him :)

Those damn things near killed my last two ficuses. Which are now outside. Every single warehouse plant I've bought (from Home Depot or any Nursery that is incompetent at keeping plants... ugh) has those. Scrape them gently off with a paper towel... make sure there are none left and...

That is my cage about a half year ago. Now I have an umbrella plant instead of the ficus and jade. They were moved outside... I also have a parrot ladder at the bottom so Monty can get down without climbing the screen if he wants. Also here are three links FULL of enclosure pics...

Very beautiful boy! Love all your posts.

Looks nice so far-- here is what I would do: Add some more branches put some large rocks over the soil in your plant. Possibly get a different plant too. Those are safe plants but it is taking up a lot of space in your cage and isn't providing much climbing area. I would get a ficus or...

Thank you for the positive thoughts. It seems like he is doing slightly better so I am going to wait maybe a day or two again to see if he keeps improving.

That truly is a horrid video.. Anyway since this is your first post here, I will assume you have done little research related to your pet. Please take more time to read about their needs. If you had possibly prepared yourself more early on for their care by researching, this could have been...

Thanks for the good luck ;) He seems to be doing slightly better, staying awake most of the day, moving around and such. I am watching his tail...

Wow! How amazing. Now you have to tell them bedtime stories about their parents' antics. ;)

I don't see any problem. Sometimes the shed stays on a little bit. If you are really concerned, what you can do is gently spray some warm water over his cage to try and "push" the shed off. Usually it will eventually come off by itself.

As much as I don't like hearing about death, I guess I have accepted the fact that something bad may happen. I hope I can get some resolution to what this is, and I hope for his comfort.

Thanks for your reply- it means so much to have you all weigh in. Anyway today he has been doing better. I made him a little hammock on the cool side and a hammock on the warm side so he won't strain himself trying to stay on the branches.

I was not able to yesterday or the day before. Today I was setting up a little hammock I made for him so he doesn't fall, and he was irritated. He was able to move part of his tail today but the tip remained in the same position. Maybe he is regaining control over it?
