I took the door off just recently as it was in the way of me getting around the room. I'm positive he wasn't getting out by the door though. I used the plastic hardware cloth to build the cage and I think it has 1/2" squares. Although I have built several cages in the past year I positively...

Yes the cage is 4 foot x 4 foot x2 foot. I did try to watch how he was getting out but as long as I watch he stays put, as soon as I leave the house he's gone. The one day I went in there probably 100 times to check then I left and was gone for less than an hour. When I came home he was out and...

Yes I finally took the door off his cage but not till this week. It's been several weeks of him escaping his cage(not sure how exactly how) and me searching for him everyday. He would stay in his cage as long as I kept checking on him. I think he knew when I left the house though even if just...

I agree with you but he won't stay in the cage. I did go to lowes and all they had were Christmas stuff out. As far as the other critters he can't get to them or the lights. At one time I did have an extra light on top of a cage but when I caught him getting out I stopped using that light.

more pics. Here is one with his somewhat empty cage, with door off.

I thought the cage was very big. I made him a 4'x4'x2'. Isn't that big enough? It takes up practically the whole room. I even have it about 3' off the floor so it almost touches the ceiling. About fixing why he won't stay in the cage, I don't really know why. He was fine until his large tree...

Yes the basking is now up top, but it wasn't and never got near it. I had things on top of his cage(the one he wouldn't stay in). When I came to the conclusion he just wasn't going to use his cage I moved things around. He still never got near the basking bulb. I did move it higher and placed a...

Ok here are some pics of his current spot. I had trouble keeping him in his cage 4'x4'x2' so I took the door off and made a tree like thing so he would be somewhat contained. It was getting more and more difficult finding him each day as he sure didn't want me to find him. One day I spent 5...

It's one of those lights that plug in instead of hard wire as I am no good with electrical stuff. I tried taping it very close to the wall but he climbed that as well.

I do have a basking light for him and he doesn't care about it, only the uvb. The room is very warm already as I have other critters and lights going. Room temp is in the 80's. Thanks for saying he's pretty. I think he is 10 months now. I got him from a lady when he was 5 months and he has...

Thanks! I don't know why I didn't think of that. I'll try that, but for now I turned the light off. As soon as I turned it off he moved. Go figure.

I can't keep him off. No matter where I put it he keeps getting on it. Is he trying to commit suicide?

Here are some pics...I caught him in the act. Will this hurt him to be so close?

Hi, I asked about Bubbles getting out of his enclosure all the time. I fixed it so he could stay out all the time. I replaced his 5.0 bulb with a 10.0 because he's not always near enough and I was worried he wasn't getting enough uvb, So now with that he has figured out how to get on the bulb...

Hi, so sorry for the mess you are in. This caught my eye as my best friend is from Russia. I love her to death but... lets just say if I were looking for somebody she would not be one I would pick. I find her to be extremely rude and a spouse abuser. I've called her on it many times but that is...

sorry, my son named him

Here are more pics of his antics.

Thanks guys. As far as the MBD yes he does have that. I rescued him as a 5 month old and he already had the severe bone deformities. He's been to the vet and did major calcium and the whole 9 yards. I built him a 4'x4'x2' enclosure and the pics should be hanging around here somewhere. I also...

He keeps getting out so I assume he wants to stay out. I'm wondering how to manage his lights. I also cut some trees to simulate...well trees. I bleached them scrubbed and spayed with boiling water. Then rinsed and repeat. Hopefully they are bug free. Here he is after I got him down from hiding...

Thanks everybody. He did have a big shed about 2 weeks ago. That little piece just won't come off and he acts like he might bite me if I get too close. Sometimes he's ok with me being near and other times I can't even open his door without him expressing his opinion of me. I do have a dripper...
