The Dude Abides

[macdaddy]

Wanted to share a pic of my new Ambilobe. My son and I have named him Dude.

In this case, the Dude sleeps.

Dude! He looks great! Why is he crashed out on the floor?

 

[Djturna4thakidz]

Yeah I have never seen one sleep on the ground. And is that an aquarium? at some point you will prob need to upgrade to a screen cage. But other than that looks great!

 

[macdaddy]

No. It is three feet tall. He spends all day at the top, but climbs down in the evenings to sleep. He usually grabs a pothos leaf, but this night was down on the glass bottom.

Nice looking yellows that Dude has. I have some that sleep on the floor as well .

 

[archristiana]

dehydrated?

does he drink well?

 

[macdaddy]

Yeah. He drinks regularly. he likes the mist king, but would really rather drink from a dripper. He has a healthy appetite for crickets, hornworms, and he loves Phoenix worms.

It is good to hear about other chams that like the ground floor. It worried me at first, but everything else was spot on in terms of care, so I chalked it up to a "quirk" of his. Now it has just become part of his routine. He actually got quite aggravated with me when I tried to get him to stop.
