Lenny is one happy Mellers! Does he ever leave the tree to explore the room?
Today he was leaving the range for some reason. He left a total of three times. Twice I caught him before he got far and the third I was gone for a couple of hours and found him sleeping on my GF's bathroom counter in front of the mirror. I don't know how he made his way up there.... Not much to climb on and unless he started for it right after I left the house, he only had 30-60 minutes of sunlight to illuminate the room.
I think he likes the bedroom/vanity sink because its cooler at times. He goes into the closet and sleeps up high or he'll find a dark closet. I don't understand him. He also has a big interest in my GFs vanidty.
For the most part, he stays put. I am adding some more vines soon. He has been slowing down and mostly just basks all day so I didn't feel he needed a vine highway yet.
I am going to change the curtain to plastic corrugate. It will have a slight angle to direct water to one side into a gutter, then into a bucket that will tie into my entire auto drain system (yes you read that right
) I don't have a garden to water like Suzanne...
and I can't drill a hole in the wall of my apt. So the waste water will be pumped to the bathroom and hooked up to the plumbing in there.

so I'm guessing the white sheet around the tree redirects the water to the pot of the tree. Thanks for the idea and the thread, i'm going to check it out right now
Yes and no. I had it draining through the tree to water it... But the water coming out is NASTY. So I now have the curtain supported around tree and the funny thins is the font left corner is the lowest spot. I then cut a hole in the curtain and there is a collection bucket there.
Because the misting nozzle is centered on the tree some mist runs down the tree limbs and down the trunk into the pot. So it does get the water it needs, but the water is still nasty that collects.
Suzanne, Any idea why he/she might wonder off and be so pissy? the first time he was hissing and gaping at me and i was worried if i should pick him up in fear of getting bit (he bit me once thinking i was good and it HURT!) The second time i found him I heard him gasping and grunting and hissing at me as i walked across the hall, I didn't even know he was there. The third time he was asleep so i just moved him back to the range and he seemed very confused and groggy as he woke up.
