My boy spike has recently been trying to eat the soil from his plants. He has crickets in his home running around but almost every morning he goes for one plant in the middle , which we have the top soil covered with paper towels since he has tried before. Sometimes I catch him trying to pull...
Good evening everyone!! Today I was hanging out with Spike and I noticed his back foot seems to have some stuck shed on his toes. It looks like his nails are being pushed together under the shed. He’s never shown any uncomfort on his foot or failed to use it , and it’s been a while since he has...
Happy new years everyone!! Here’s some recents from Spike. He has been angry and shedding horribly all over his face. Poor guy!!
Today I had a terrifying experience with him. I put some crickets in and he was eating them , and after he ate one he began to throw his head around and make an...
We have been working with Spike more over the last few months and he has come to trust us much more!!! Don’t get me wrong he is still a nervous guy, but routinely everyday he comes lower in in his enclosure , saying hello I wanna come out!! He usually comes onto my arm for about a minute, and I...
We decided to get a plant for spike that he can hang out in for short periods while we clean his home and to get some more enrichment!! We got a ficus, and I think he is loving it!! He is enjoying hiding in it and watching over us. Anyone have any out- of cage setups for their guys to hang in...
Hello everyone !! It’s been a while since I have posted ! We are going to go get spike a new plant today cause his money tree is unfortunately not doing well in his home. What is a good large filler plant that doesn’t mind the heat lamp, and misting? Our umbrella tree also did not survive. Thank...

Hello everyone!! Been a while!! We have been working with spike more and more to become more used to us and used hornworms to get him to become comfortable coming onto our arms right out of his enclosure. He would come in very timid and then eat the worm and swiftly run off to his home and hide...
Thank you. He has since gone back up to his branches it just worries me so much when he’s acting out of the ordinary since he’s getting up there , I just want him to be happy and healthy!!
His temps near basking branch are about 80-85
I going to be looking for an exotic vet around us but as it’s the weekend I’m not sure if they’re open. I’m in northern Colorado if anytime knows any good clinics near here 😭❤️🩹
Hello everyone it’s been a while since I’ve posted!! Today I’m worried cause Spike is hanging out at the bottom of his enclosure which is not normal for him. I worry cause he is 4 years old, he just had some bugs yesterday dusted without d 3 calcium. Out husbandry hasn’t been altered at all. Is...
Thank you!! We moved his enclosure from the closet to main bedroom about a week ago so it’s a lot more to observe and see and I think he might have been overwhelmed.
Hello I am just looking for more variety of feeders for my boy. He is Mai my eating crickets now tooth occasional hornworms since I’ve tried to cut mealworms and super worms out. Looking for some reputable sources for silkworms to try, or locusts/ any other feeders that are recommended but...
He did just move a little bit higher up to one of his more frequented spots. Maybe I overreacted but with him getting older I just worry about him!! I will keep an eye on him for any more unnatural behavior…
We just had moved his enclosure out of the closet and into the main room. So nothing really new just new sights and environments for him which he was quite cautious of at first.
Please help!!!
I’m worried about my Spike boy. Today he is acting a little bit weird. He is hanging out towards the bottom of his enclosure and seems a lot more lethargic than usual. When I approach his enclosure and even open the door he just stays in the same spot looking at me. (Which is out...
