Enjoying life with my YL pair

I’m not on as much as I used to be, because work keeps me busy. I also started collecting scorpions and other arachnids, again, so I’m splitting my time between that and my plant hobby.
My yellow lips are doing great and I love to sit and watch them. So far the female displays when the male is near and shows no interest in him, more does he show advances towards her. They still occupy their own 8’ side of a 16’ enclosure, with occasional encounters with one another.
The other day I replaced and added new branches and vines to the enclosure, both out of necessity and out of feeling inspired. They really have appreciate the new branches and have been utilizing them and roosting on them exclusively.
I didn’t get to put them outside for the Summer, because I was traveling too often to leave them out there and I didn’t want to switch them from indoors to outdoors repeatedly, when they are just getting adjusted to captivity. I hope to cycle them this coming year and have them outside from May-October.
 
Here’s a few.

Wow! Great work! What does your plant hobby consist of?

Since 2009, I’ve been involved in competitive growing, judging, and writing articles for various horticultural organizations. Mostly I grow African violets and other gesneriads, but also begonias, carnivorous plants, and anything else that catches my eye, from ant plants and hoyas, to variegated citrus and aroids.

Wow awesome! Do you think I could pm you and talk about this hobby, I have gotten into carnivorous plants and bromeliads, haven't really branched out from there, I just don't have to much experience.
 
Wonderful animals Drew, so nice you are enjoying these two so much, they look stunning as do the enclosures. Exciting times ahead possibly?
I might just keep an enclosure available here for the future then!!
Congratulations.
 
Wow, those are just awesome. Now I'm getting the Parsons itch too! Well, the other side of the basement could be converted....
